Class Description

Hello and welcome to the first (of many ;-) LJ Chip Carving Class.
I'll be leading you step-by-step through this class which is sure to be a lot of fun.

Skill level: All levels! I will provide instruction every step of the way! Beginners are my specialty :). Advanced chip carvers are welcome too. Who knows, you might learn something along the way.

Age level: 12 years and up

Tools, equipment needed:
Chip carving knife (If you need a knife and order one from the My Chip Carving Store, tell me you're in the LJ Chip Carving Class and I'll sharpen your knife for free! https://mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Store/store.htm)
6Ă—6" basswood or 4Ă—4" basswood any thickness (I will have these available along with practice boards.)

Class Description:
For this chip carving class, everyone in class will carve one or more quilt squares.
The carved 6" and 4" squares will be assembled into a finished quilt pattern.
When your square(s) is completed, I'd like it if you would send your square(s) to me and I'll sell or auction the completed quilt(s).
I will place the funds received in the My Chip Carving Foundation which was established to assist those who would like to chip carve but don't have the means to do so.

Class Outline
Here's an outline of class sessions for this project:
1. surface prep
2. pattern design
3. pattern transfer
4. chip carving
5. removing pattern lines and prep for finishing
6. finishing

Teaching methods
I've had great success teaching chip carving at My Chip Carving using video. I'll be using video in this class along with some written descriptions and pictures to guide you through the process.
http://www.mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Pages/chip_carving_free_eletter.htm

I will be providing patterns for our quilt squares suitable for a variety of skill levels. If you would rather design your own pattern, that will be just fine. The choice is yours!

Questions are welcome because if you have a question about something, it's a good bet that others have the same question. The more interaction we can have back-and-forth, the more enjoyable and informative our class time will be.

Class timing
We will tentatively plan to complete the class in 6 weeks. We'll flex and bend with this when we see how everyone is doing. If the class moves too slowly for you, no problem - carve more squares!!
If class moves a bit too quickly for you, you can always catch up later. We won't rush through anything.

Cost - Niente! Zip! Nada! Kosong! Ingenting! Nic!

Let me hear from you so we can get started soon!

Our quilt(s) won't look exactly like the one shown below. It is pictured to give you an idea of a chip carved quilt.
The variety we will have with 4" and 6" squares will create a visually stimulating pattern!

Hi Marty - what a fantastic offer. Our club does a wood quilt annualy - being new to carving, chipcarving AND the club itself - this will be my first attempt at creating a quilt piece. Not sure how the class will work and what my availability will be. Are the classes held durring the morning, afternoon or evening? Are they live - or a video we watch. I am also new to LumberJocks - so not sure how this all works!

Sign me up Marty I think I am ready to give this a try.
 
Class Description

Hello and welcome to the first (of many ;-) LJ Chip Carving Class.
I'll be leading you step-by-step through this class which is sure to be a lot of fun.

Skill level: All levels! I will provide instruction every step of the way! Beginners are my specialty :). Advanced chip carvers are welcome too. Who knows, you might learn something along the way.

Age level: 12 years and up

Tools, equipment needed:
Chip carving knife (If you need a knife and order one from the My Chip Carving Store, tell me you're in the LJ Chip Carving Class and I'll sharpen your knife for free! https://mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Store/store.htm)
6Ă—6" basswood or 4Ă—4" basswood any thickness (I will have these available along with practice boards.)

Class Description:
For this chip carving class, everyone in class will carve one or more quilt squares.
The carved 6" and 4" squares will be assembled into a finished quilt pattern.
When your square(s) is completed, I'd like it if you would send your square(s) to me and I'll sell or auction the completed quilt(s).
I will place the funds received in the My Chip Carving Foundation which was established to assist those who would like to chip carve but don't have the means to do so.

Class Outline
Here's an outline of class sessions for this project:
1. surface prep
2. pattern design
3. pattern transfer
4. chip carving
5. removing pattern lines and prep for finishing
6. finishing

Teaching methods
I've had great success teaching chip carving at My Chip Carving using video. I'll be using video in this class along with some written descriptions and pictures to guide you through the process.
http://www.mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Pages/chip_carving_free_eletter.htm

I will be providing patterns for our quilt squares suitable for a variety of skill levels. If you would rather design your own pattern, that will be just fine. The choice is yours!

Questions are welcome because if you have a question about something, it's a good bet that others have the same question. The more interaction we can have back-and-forth, the more enjoyable and informative our class time will be.

Class timing
We will tentatively plan to complete the class in 6 weeks. We'll flex and bend with this when we see how everyone is doing. If the class moves too slowly for you, no problem - carve more squares!!
If class moves a bit too quickly for you, you can always catch up later. We won't rush through anything.

Cost - Niente! Zip! Nada! Kosong! Ingenting! Nic!

Let me hear from you so we can get started soon!

Our quilt(s) won't look exactly like the one shown below. It is pictured to give you an idea of a chip carved quilt.

thanks to a1Jim's forum discussion for reminding me about the class disclaimer

it is everyone's responsibility to know their skill level, the safety requirements of the tools, and the use of the tools. The classes provide "how to" instructions - the safety part is up to you.
NOTE: knives will cut skin. You've been warned.

Class Description

Hello and welcome to the first (of many ;-) LJ Chip Carving Class.
I'll be leading you step-by-step through this class which is sure to be a lot of fun.

Skill level: All levels! I will provide instruction every step of the way! Beginners are my specialty :). Advanced chip carvers are welcome too. Who knows, you might learn something along the way.

Age level: 12 years and up

Tools, equipment needed:
Chip carving knife (If you need a knife and order one from the My Chip Carving Store, tell me you're in the LJ Chip Carving Class and I'll sharpen your knife for free! https://mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Store/store.htm)
6Ă—6" basswood or 4Ă—4" basswood any thickness (I will have these available along with practice boards.)

Class Description:
For this chip carving class, everyone in class will carve one or more quilt squares.
The carved 6" and 4" squares will be assembled into a finished quilt pattern.
When your square(s) is completed, I'd like it if you would send your square(s) to me and I'll sell or auction the completed quilt(s).
I will place the funds received in the My Chip Carving Foundation which was established to assist those who would like to chip carve but don't have the means to do so.
More foundation info at - https://mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Foundation/My_Chip_Carving_Foundation.htm

Teaching methods
I've had great success teaching chip carving at My Chip Carving using video. I'll be using video in this class along with some written descriptions and pictures to guide you through the process.
http://www.mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Pages/chip_carving_free_eletter.htm

I will be providing patterns for our quilt squares suitable for a variety of skill levels. If you would rather design your own pattern, that will be just fine. The choice is yours!

Questions are welcome because if you have a question about something, it's a good bet that others have the same question. The more interaction we can have back-and-forth, the more enjoyable and informative our class time will be.

Class timing
We will tentatively plan to complete the class in 6 weeks. We'll flex and bend with this when we see how everyone is doing. If the class moves too slowly for you, no problem - carve more squares!!
If class moves a bit too quickly for you, you can always catch up later. We won't rush through anything.

Cost - Niente! Zip! Nada! Kosong! Ingenting! Nic!

Let me hear from you so we can get started soon!

The variety we will have with 4" and 6" squares will create a visually stimulating pattern!

First of all….Thank you Marty for making the time to teach such a wonderful art form. You truly are an excellent ambassador for chip carving.

Second, count me in….Having the chance to learn from a craftsman as talented as Marty is a wonderful opportunity….LJ's is such a great place to enhance your woodworking skills…..I do not think there is another site like this…..

Ms Debbie….yes….we must assist those lawyers to save us from ourselves…...So Please folks….please do not drive a car or operate heavy machinery until you know how chip carving will affect you…..Stop chip carving immediately if you notice that you are missing fingers, toes, have blurred vision with night sweats, bleeding from the ears, nose or eyes….inability to obtain and hold an erection, thoughts of suicide or just want the 2012 holocaust to hurry up…..these are serious side effects and should be reported to your doctor immediately….stop chip carving if you find you are suddenly without breath or have feelings of depression and want to carve up the politician on your tv screen…these too are life threatening side effects….you should check with your doctor to see if you are healthy enough to chip carve…....whew…..I give up…there are several pages more of cautions…...(sorry MsD…couldn't resist)
 
Class Description

Hello and welcome to the first (of many ;-) LJ Chip Carving Class.
I'll be leading you step-by-step through this class which is sure to be a lot of fun.

Skill level: All levels! I will provide instruction every step of the way! Beginners are my specialty :). Advanced chip carvers are welcome too. Who knows, you might learn something along the way.

Age level: 12 years and up

Tools, equipment needed:
Chip carving knife (If you need a knife and order one from the My Chip Carving Store, tell me you're in the LJ Chip Carving Class and I'll sharpen your knife for free! https://mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Store/store.htm)
6Ă—6" basswood or 4Ă—4" basswood any thickness (I will have these available along with practice boards.)

Class Description:
For this chip carving class, everyone in class will carve one or more quilt squares.
The carved 6" and 4" squares will be assembled into a finished quilt pattern.
When your square(s) is completed, I'd like it if you would send your square(s) to me and I'll sell or auction the completed quilt(s).
I will place the funds received in the My Chip Carving Foundation which was established to assist those who would like to chip carve but don't have the means to do so.

Hi Raynette,
I was asked to teach at Carv-Fest this coming August but I'll be gone during the Fest dates. Rats!
Hopefully in 2012 it will work out.
Until that time we can make chips together online or at Red Barn Retreats (http://www.RedBarnRetreats.com :)
