9343. Relief Carved Hearts
Workshop - Wood | Available
Try your hand at relief carving and create mini heart magnets from wood. 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 and begin chipping away at your design. Acrylic paints will be available so that you can finish off your hearts with some color. The final touch is a magnet on the back so that your carving can hang on your fridge, toolbox or any other metal fixtures in your home or workshop. Students can expect to make multiple hearts during the workshop. No experience needed.

Sara Reinthaler
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.
