Workshop Description: In this class you will carve chinks/chaps yokes with a delicate floral design. Starting from a multi primary circles layout you will add your choice of flowers. Yokes are patterned after Julie Bayha Baugher design, so you will be able to use your creation on chinks/chaps you could build from her patterns packs.
Materials to bring: Tooling stone, mallet, strop, and carving tools. Yves can provide stamping tools if needed; please email him at: ylesire34@gmail.com.
