Workshop with Artist Susan Hagen—Figurative Wood Sculpture: Heroes and Hedgehogs

Glen Foerd on the Delaware and the Center for Art in Wood present Figurative Wood Sculpture: Heroes and Hedgehogs led by internationally renowned artist Susan Hagen. This is a two-day hands-on course that will instruct participants in the creation of small-scale wood sculptures of animals, humans, and imaginary creatures. Basic wood sculpture processes will be taught, beginning with sketches and maquettes and including basic joinery, carving, and whittling. Knowledge of drawing and basic woodworking is useful but not required. Susan Hagen is a Philadelphia-based artist, writer, and educator who discovered the process of woodcarving would allow her to translate her own experiences into a tactile, pocket-sized, parallel universe.
