Southtowns Woodcarvers of Hamburg, NY will be hosting the
8th Annual CCA Carvealong East at the Erie County Fairgrounds.
Beginners, Intermediates, and Advanced carvers from the east coast
will gather to get instruction from 3 CCA (Caricature Carvers
of America) members.
Each carver will be carving one day with each of the instructors. In 2003 the instructors will be:
Each will be teaching a different piece, so
each carver will be going home with 3 carvings by the end
of the weekend. You may have to do a little finish work, but the
main parts will be done. The gathering will be restricted to 36
carvers for 3 twelve carver classes. You get to meet new carvers
and gain new friends. The cost will be $192 total, which will
include membership in Southtowns, and lunches during the weekend,
plus instruction. Vendors will be available with all your woodcarving
needs.
This is always a special time and 39 caricature carvers in one building always seems to bring out the laughter and fun. We hope you can make it.
Reservations will be on first come first serve

No matter what your age, if you already carve, would like to improve on your skills or would like to learn how, come for a few quite days of wood carvers getting together to have a great time cutting up!! You are welcome to join us at anytime during the Roundup.
Sharing ideas and techniques is the main focus of the Roundup with teaching and instruction totally volunteer. The only compensation would be for materials and the satisfaction of helping someone become a better carver, and they will in turn have the gratification of your guidance in a relaxed, no stress learning environment.
Worlshops: Will run from 9 am to noon and 1:30 till 5:00.
Instruction will be FREE, but there may be a cost for materials.
Workshop Leaders:
Non-carver activities will be planned just like the carving workshops. Here again, if you are a non-carver and have a craft project you would like to share, perhaps you could volunteer to lead a workshop.
