Kia Ora whanau \(hello family\)
In this course I will teach you some basics regarding "Bone carving" through the understanding of Maori cultural arts, an indigenous people from Aotearoa, NZ.
In this course I will take you through these artistic cultural fundamentals and spiritual meanings of each shape you decide to carve. These courses will take you through:
1/ Raw bone selection...best animals, which part, etc.,
2/ Bone preparation..cutting, cleaning, curing, etc
3/ Deciding on what design suits your market/person. Open market, craft stall, personal commission piece \(birthday, gift\) etc.
4/ Once your piece is clearly defined then I will show you how to design a one off commission piece or generic piece to fully compliment your market/person.
5/ We will look at all the cutting tools needed and where to purchase them.
6/ How to apply design, and the cutting and sanding process through to polishing and inserting of Paua, wood or Jade.
