Soapstone Carving - DBG - NOVEMBER

JUST A REMINDER that if you plan on taking the second level soapstone carving course at the Devonian Gardens this fall you had better register real soon as this class is certain to get fully booked. It is Nov 12 & 13th (Fri night and all day Sat) and you must have previously taken MY Introduction to Soapstone, the Beginners Course as a pre-requisite. If you took a course from someone else, too bad, it does NOT count. This is a very fast moving workshop and you will be able to carve whatever you want to carve. Will have lots of stone on hand to choose from and it depends on what you choose to do if you will complete it in the classroom or be taking it home to finish. Contact Emma at the DBG right away for more info. 780-987-3054 ext 2226

Introduction to Soapstone Carving - Sept 2010

Soapstone Carving at the Devonian Botanic Gardens this past weekend resulted in an array of beautiful carvings of bears. We had a great class, lots of laughs and fun and found some really talented particpants who no doubt will continue to carve now that they have discovered what they are capeable of doing. Impressive!! Special thanks to Emma, Penny and David for their help in setting up for the class and packing up the materials once the class was over. Next we have to get ready for the Beyond Beginners course in November at the DBG and hope to see some of the same people back again.

Christ the Teacher - Update

If you have been following the restoration project that I have been working on for the past couple of months, the Western Catholic Reporter did an excellent article on it 9/6/2010 and I would invite you to read it. I found the easiest way to find it was to search - Western Catholic Reporter Waidman - and it came right up. Just a few more days and it ought to be complete. Even a picture with me sitting on His shoulder!
