9339. Carved Holiday Sweater Ornament
Workshop - Wood | Available
Try your hand at relief carving and create a fun ornament of an ugly holiday sweater. This small-scale carving project is a great way to get familiar with the tools and techniques of carving. You'll transfer your image onto the wood, cut out the shape with a scroll saw and begin chipping away at your design. Acrylic paints will be available so that you can finish off your sweater with some color. The final touch is a mini wire hanger so that your ugly sweater can stay wrinkle free on display all season long! No experience needed.

Sara Reinthaler has always enjoyed making things with her hands in a variety of mediums, but discovered her love for working with wood in 2017, when she took a woodcarving class at The American Woodcarving School in New Jersey. Beginning with mostly relief carving using a mallet, chisels and gouges, she created works in both basswood and cottonwood bark. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2020, she joined the Triad Woodcarvers club where she has been honing her knife skills and was introduced to chip carving, She has entered some of her carvings into local shows in Charlotte, Hickory and Clemmons where she has received awards for multiple pieces. She loves to try new woodcarving techniques and styles and is currently working on some love spoons and hiking sticks in addition to some larger relief pieces.
