When: Mondays from 5 - 8 p.m. This is an on-going class. Learn classic nuristani chip carving, a 5,000 year old technique from Afghanistan. Students will carve beginner designs on a soft wood board during this class. Each person will take home their carving designs and the knowledge to practice this new craft on their own. Nuristani inlay designs each have their own meanings that we’ll learn more about in the class. Nuristani inlay is usually made using soft wood. We’ll provide the supplies for each student. This class builds upon itself and renews every 3 weeks. Returning students move on to more complicated designs, and beginning students start with the foundation design and learn to hone beginner skills. Each enrollment is for 3 carving classes. All levels are welcome. Recommended for ages 16 and up. Visit: https://sandiegocraft.org/product/chip-carving/ San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook
