Great Blue Heron (scaled) (August Woodcarving Seminar)

Great Blue Heron carved in wood and painted (scaled smaller than life). The Heron is standing/mounted on a piece of log, and placed in the wetlands exhibit at the Birds of Vermont Museum

From August 20 – 22, the Birds of Vermont Museum is hosting the Green Mountain Woodcarvers’ annual three-day seminar.

Matt Strong and Bob Lindemann will teach the course; Matt will cover the carving and Bob will assist with the texturing and painting. Due to the Heron’s small size, the class is suitable for both novice and more experienced carvers.
If you are interested in taking the class, visit http://greenmountainwoodcarvers.org/class/class.html and follow the instructions there for more details and to register. We are expecting the class to fill quickly!
