Workshop Description: If you’re a dog person, or know someone who is, you need to learn how to make this brooch! Form cheeks that just beg to be squeezed, a head that looks like it needs petting, and eyes you can dive into. This workshop encompasses embossing, figure carving, and dyeing techniques that help the animals you carve appear more life-like. Join Honghao in making something he is well known for doing.
Materials to bring: Tooling stone, mallet, cutting mat, cutting knife, sharpening equipment, scalpel, No. 11 scalpel blades, small glass plate (flat), and modeling tools. (Honghao will bring modeling tools for loan/purchase.)
