The Corn Belt Carving Club has had many, many seminars taught by professional carvers over the years. This is just an example of a few of those seminars.
Floyd Rhadigan
Floyd came to Bloomington/Normal in the spring of 2016 and again in 2017. He puts on a great seminar. He brings a huge selection of carving blanks as well as all of the paint and brushes needed to complete the projects. Floyd works with each individual carver and helps you along the course of the project. He will demonstrate on your carving or just explain what needs to be done step by step to complete the project. Your choice.
We really enjoy the classes with Floyd and we hope to have him back.
Visit Floyd's website for more information and be sure and check on the PDF files he has of his carving blanks (as well as finished carvings) he has for sale. He has quite a selection.
