Gary Eagle Decorative Wall Panel Workshop

June 13, 2020 By Jamie Dull

Due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, this class is canceled.

Level 2 Class –  5 Students Minimum: 6 Maximum

Dates: Aug 17-18, 2020

Times: Class starts at 9:00 and runs ’til 5:00 with an hour for lunch.

Class Description: This two day workshop will focus on designing, forging and assembling a framed wall panel. This class allows for a fair amount of personal creativity as each panel can be totally unique. Students will practice developing their design skills and sense of aesthetic, work at forging the various elements that will make up their individual panel and then use traditional joinery to complete the assembly. Gary has been making (and teaching folks how to make) these panels for years and will serve as the perfect coach and mentor to boost students design and forging skills.

Cost: $275.00
