Carving the female figure vol1

The DVD includes plan drawings, still photographs and 80 minutes of detailed video instruction.

Ian guides you, step by step, through the complexities of carving a beautiful full female figure. He recommends a fairly plain timber for this work, such as limewood/basswood, so that the grain of the wood will not dominate the shape of the piece.

The disk includes plan drawings, still photographs and 45 minutes of detailed video instruction. Ian uses a log of elm from his garden in Ireland for this work.

In addition to guiding the viewer step-by-step through the carving process, he demonstrates how to maximize the wood available - from an ordinary round log to a beautiful, completely symmetrical figure.

Carving a female torso

The disk includes plan drawings, still photographs and 45 minutes of step-by-step video instruction. Highly recommended as a first step to figure carving, this DVD guides the viewer through the process of carving the female torso - a beautiful but simple shape that can be executed at any size.

Carving a male torso

The disk includes plan drawings, a tool list, and still photographs. Ian offers 45 minutes of step-by-step video instructions for carving a striking male torso.

He covers key muscle structures and underlying anatomy. His finishing techniques include how to deal with knots in wood. This is not a difficult carving and with a block of strongly grained wood the viewer can create a truly memorable piece.

Carving a female head

The disk includes plan drawings, still photographs and 45 minutes of step-by-step video instruction.

Ian has taught many of his students to successfully complete this carving. His DVD is a simple but excellent introduction to carving a portrait head, with expert guidance at every stage.
