In this class you will learn how to proportion the figures, how to add features such as legs and tails that make them look animated and how to carve eyes and other details that give them character.

Some carving experience is helpful, but this class is also open to beginners.

Instructor: Jeff Iller. As a third-generation woodworker, he learned about woodworking tools and knives early on. By high school, he was winning ribbons with his wood carvings at his hometown fair. Around 1996, Jeff found room for a shop and he has carved ever since. He’ll carve most anything, but prefers to innovate with the working tools to carve multiple parts inside one piece of wood and to make physically detailed and accurate carvings of women's faces. Carvings on the entry sign to the BARN Woodworking Studio shows the quality of his work.

Iller says he was taught early on that he could make anything from wood. He is still trying to prove that statement wrong.
