Classes! Classes! Classes!

It is so exciting for me to be able to post about all sorts of upcoming Zoom and in person (but socially distant and outside) workshops and demonstrations. I've been teaching a bit over the past few months over Zoom and I'll be honest, that human interaction has been a real pick me up. If you need a little of that or if you want to get out into the fresh air for some drawing sessions, hopefully there is something here to lift you up!

Below are some offerings grouped by venue: The Leighton Art Centre, Alberta Printmakers and Inglewood Art Supplies. I keep adding new classes to my main page as they are finalized so this blog post might get out of date - always check there first to see what is on tap in the coming weeks.

Alberta Printmakers:

Pressing Onwards Series: Carving Tool Maintenance
Interactive Online Demo via Zoom
July 22nd, 2020

Join Michelle Wiebe as she guides you through the science and practice of maintaining razor sharp edges on your gouges. Having a properly maintained set of tools will result in greater carving accuracy, longer lasting blades, reduced physical fatigue as well as less chance of injury. Using a basic set up of easily made or purchased tools she will show you how to hone, sharpen and repair dings on your U gouges, V gouges and Chisels. All items demonstrated can either be inexpensively purchased locally or else up-cycled from easily sourced scraps.
