9000. Taste of Art: Wood Worry Stones
Taste of Art - Wood | Available
Whittle and shape a small, tactile, wood worry stone (or a whole pocket full) to keep close at hand for comfort. Whether you are creating a personal keepsake or a thoughtful gift, the mindful process of shaping and smoothing a small “stone” from wood and working with your hands instills a sense of peace and purpose. Though power tools will be available, hand tools will be our focus for the meditative qualities they bring to woodworking.
Additional Information:
- This class is open to students ages 14 and up.
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.
