NWCA has sent forms to us to give to members that wish to join. Adelle would be happy to get one to you if you request it. Are you on Facebook? Our club "Show - and - Tell" carving pictures and the newsletter have been posted recently. It makes me happy to see those pictures. Hopefully there are a few folks out there that will appreciate them and maybe decide that carving might be a hobby they might be interested in. ART OR CRAFTThe question of whether carving (specifically bird carving) is considered an art or a craft was posed to Del Herbert, a well know bird carver. His answer is insightful. Craft: An activity involving skill in making things by hand. Art: Creative human activity producing works such as paintings or sculptures to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. |
