Whale Bone Sculpture Exhibition,
Friday November 4th 2011
I'm in the process of carving a 13 foot whale bone as part of Galway Craft month, which is on at the moment.
The Bone Carving Studio and Gallery will be having an open evening to showcase the finished sculpture on Friday, November 4th from 7pm - 9pm.
All are welcome to come along and see the sperm whale's jaw bone as work goes on throughout the month, and to come to the open evening on November 4th to see the finished piece.
I'm posting photos and updates of the work in progress on The Bone Carving Studio and Gallery's facebook page so take a look, let me know if you like what you see and hopefully I'll see you on November 4th!
Bone Carving Classes
Looking for something different to do in Galway?
The Bone Carving Studio and Gallery in Galway offers the only bone carving classes in Ireland.
At a one-day class you’ll create your own bone carving from start to finish.
What's involved
At a one-day bone carving class you will design and make your own piece out of cow bone (sourced from local butchers, already cleaned and dried ready for you to carve!).
Most people make a pendant strung on waxed cotton cord (If you'd like it on silver it's €10 extra for the chain).
Alternatively you can turn your piece into a brooch, keyring or stand-alone sculpture.
If you'd like to make something else ask me when you're booking and I'll see what we can do!
You'll do all the carving yourself using a variety of power and hand tools...and of course I'll help you along the way.
Whether you're a visitor or a native, a bone carving class is the perfect activity for a rainy Galway day....
...it's also a unique gift, whether you give a gift voucher for a class or you make something special for someone special!
