Fall is here and I’m excited for my October class at Pete Galbert’s. I’ll burrow into the shop for the winter, then we’re going to do it again in spring. Registration for a class at Pete’s March 10-15 opens up on Monday, October 7 at 8:00 a.m. Through the week, we’ll carve the bowl above, right down to the final cuts and finish. But more importantly, we’ll learn how to adapt to make other bowl designs, sharpen gouges for optimal performance, lay out other bowl forms, carve decorative motifs, and more. In the August class, we even were able to touch upon the basics of letter carving. It’s really about the understanding and skills you take home with you, more so than the bowl. We call it Bowl Carving Exploration.
The trees are still mainly green around here, but some leaves have begun to fall.

Wow! Beautiful bowl. And pristinely finished. Well done, again!
The classes sound intriguing – any chance that you can film some of them to YouTube for those of us elsewhere in the world? The optimal gouge sharpening and letter-carving sound particularly interesting to me :).
Good luck all. Sounds like great fun 🙂

Hey David. Is that a fossil in that rock or a dead moth? Wild.

Probably a fossil that you’re seeing. That stream is littered with cool fossil rocks.

Your class would be an absolute dream come true David, but when I crunch the numbers coming from Wisconsin, flying or driving plus lodging it just isn’t feasible, Maybe someday. Thanks for sharing with all your fans.
