Carving Cottonwood Bark
Session Seven: August 11-16
Julia Harrison
Carving Cottonwood Bark
The bark that is shed by cottonwood trees is an intriguing material for carving that offers dramatically unpredictable patterns, irregular shapes, and a soft but smooth texture. Bark responds better to strategy than to force and is a great material for beginners or those with lower hand strength as well as experienced carvers looking to build skill and sensitivity. Students will learn bark preparation, layout and roughing, tool selection, detailing, and finishing. We will primarily use hand tools but demonstrations will also cover some power tools and creating larger carving blocks. This process requires patience; expect steady but slow progress. All levels.
