SUMMARY:Coperthwaite-Style Walking Stick Carving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening of carving walking sticks under the tutelage of a skilled wood-worker. The walking stick you take home can be used on the trails\, or\, with an addition of a sharp metal point\, as support on icy surfaces. \nParticipants will learn to safely use a Swedish style sloyd carving knife to shape both ends of their walking stick which will be made from straight grained hardwood. All tools and materials will be provided. \nFee: $30 materials fee. \nTrees to Tools: Three Woodworking Workshops with Maine Coast Craft School\nThis workshop is a stand-alone event\, the second of three to be offered in January and February\, offering a unique opportunity to learn the basics of knife safety and foundational skills needed for many traditional crafts and woodworking projects. Knives available to borrow or purchase from the instructor for $23. For those who wish to purchase ahead of time\, a recommendation regarding a carving knife to purchase will be sent to all registered students. For safety reasons\, class sizes are limited to five students per class and registration is required. \nSee Also:\nChopstick Carving Workshop\, January 19\nWood Carving Workshop Series\, February 2\, 9 and 16 \nAbout Kenneth Kortemeier:\nBorn and raised in Atlanta\, GA\, Kenneth Kortemeier first started woodworking in art school in the mid 80’s where he made wooden sculpture\, mostly using power tools. He began traveling after receiving his degree\, searching for education in traditional crafts and handwork. \nAs an intern at Country Workshops in Marshall\, NC\, he learned about green woodworking and hand tools. He learned primitive skills and handwork through his friendship with Cherokee elder Martha Owl\, who also lived in North Carolina. \nIn 1997 he sought out an apprenticeship with the late John Brown\, the Welsh stick chair maker in Wales\, UK. The year after that he came to Maine to teach sailing and seamanship with the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School\, and to learn wooden boat building at the Carpenter’s Boat Shop\, where he eventually taught for 10 years. \nHe has worked as a cabinet maker\, done custom commercial woodworking\, built chairs and furniture on commission and worked as an EMT in an ER\, but his overarching calling has been in education. \nThis coming summer Kenneth is inaugurating his new school\, the Maine Coast Craft School\, with a series of workshops focusing on working green wood with hand tools for both adults and children.
