Bird Carving with Kevin Dunn

Class will be carving and painting a life-size Woodcock. 

This class is not for beginners and carving experience is recommended. Carving with micro-motor power tools and detailing with wood burners is emphasized but use of hand tools is possible.

Kevin Dunn has been carving birds for over seventy years and his birds have been sold in gift shops and galleries in Washington, D.C., Cambridge, Cohasset, Martha’s Vineyard, as well as the Marshfield Fair, the South Shore Science Center Corn Festival, and the South Shore Audubon’s Webster Farm Day. “There is such creativity involved. A lot of decisions go into creating something,” he said. “But at the same time it’s very therapeutic. You lose yourself in what you’re physically doing. Mentally, all the cares of the world just fade away.”
