A3 -Ball and claw feet for a Queen Anne table - Yosh Sagi
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
The focus of this class will be on learning how to carve ball and claw feet on the cabriole legs of an eighteenth century Queen Anne table, similar to the
one above. Students will learn to carve the feet using tools like miniature gouges, a miniature chisel and an X-acto knife.
The main carcass of the table will be assembled from a prepared cutting list of pearwood. The table will have one drawer. The
top and drawer are veneered with walnut burr (or other) and the cross-banded border is optional. The table will be finished with a choice of stain,
sealer, wax or shellac. All the wood, precut pearwood parts, veneers and two drawer handles will be provided.
A4 - Painter’s shelf - Alexandra Cantatore
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
In this class we will be making a shelf (size 47mm x 13mm, deep 9mm) for an artist’s studio, but it could also be found in a garage or cellar.
The shelf holds 2 metal jars containing colored pencils and brushes, cans of turpentine and solvent, and an old, closed metal pot. Hanging from the hooks we find a palette, flat brushes and two
spatulas (photogravures by Pierluigi Pirovano, IGMA Artisan).
To complete the composition, we will make a closed tin of used paint and a paint brush.
We will use wood, modeling sheet metal, polyshrink and, of course, hair to make brushes, spray acrylic and oil paints. You are going to learn the technique of giving different shapes to the
various brushes and cans, and how to age and make each object come to life.
No special technical skills are required other than a good dexterity in using a cutter and other simple tools.
