SUMMARY:Carving Comfort Birds
DESCRIPTION:In the winter of 2023-24 Bob Goldberg came to AFS with an idea. While receiving treatment for cancer\, he couldn’t help but think of others in those treatment rooms who didn’t have the same kind of support he did. He proposed a program to create “comfort birds” to donate to local hospitals to provide a little bit of care to those who need it most. Created by woodworker Frank Foust in 1982\, comfort birds are small enough to fit in the palm of the hand and sanded to a silky-smooth finish to serve as a touchstone during hard times. In honor of the man who inspired them\, we’ve renamed our iteration of the project “Bob’s Birds.” In this workshop\, create your own comfort bird to gift to a loved one or to keep as a touchstone for yourself!

SUMMARY:Carving a Shrinkpot
DESCRIPTION:Students will learn how to carve a shrinkpot\, a type of wooden container traditionally made using hand tools and green woodworking techniques that utilizes the natural shrinking process as the wood dries. Freshly cut green wood is hollowed out and a dry wooden base is inserted into a groove carved within the hollowed section. As green wood dries it shrinks\, creating a tight seal around the base.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Chip Carving
DESCRIPTION:This course will introduce students to the traditional craft of chip carving – a type of woodcarving in which a small knife is used to incise decorative floral and geometric designs into basswood or butternut.  The design is created by the removal of small pieces (chips) of the wood. Chip carving is an ancient\, traditional craft. Chip carved plates\, jewelry and keepsake boxes\, trays\, breadboards\, furniture and other items can make wonderful gifts and also decorate the home with traditional motifs. Some previous carving experience is helpful\, but not necessary. Students will learn to carve a variety of practice designs already drawn on a board and may complete a round ornament as well.

SUMMARY:Calligraphy with Turkey Quills
DESCRIPTION:First\, we will learn how to prepare walnut ink from the husks of local black walnuts. The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) is one of North America’s most valuable and beautiful native trees. We will then learn how to temper and cut a turkey’s wing feather into a fine writing tool that we can use with the velvety smooth walnut ink to create calligraphy (beautiful writing!). For the calligraphy classes we will use a chisel-shaped felt pen and learn two letter styles – Gothic\, or blackletter\, and the Foundational Hand\, also using our black walnut ink. Other materials and uses will be demonstrated as well.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Chasing the sharpest edge possible has consumed Howard’s time and efforts for the past 22 years. He started making knives in 1973 and has worked diligently to get blades of all types as sharp as possible with a repeatable process that can be replicated by other people. Over the years Howard has studied whetstones in museums around the world and amassed a huge study collection of rocks which have been used for various purposes by craftsmen around the world throughout time. All of Howard’s sharpening work is done under magnification and he has invented tools and processes for sharpening quickly and to a keen edge. At the end of this presentation\, students will have an understanding and hands on knowledge of: edge geometry\, types of steel\, heat treating\, natural and manmade sharpening stones and options\, and a better way to understand the intersection of blade steel\, heat treatment\,\nblade geometry\, stone type and technology\, and how it all works together.
