This advanced demo dives deeper into developing bold, intricate designs on turned forms. Building on basic rotary carving knowledge, we’ll explore how to create multi-layered textures, options for building outward from a flat surface, and adding exciting color using acrylics, milk paint, inks, dry brushing, and washes. You’ll learn how to bring bold, layered textures to life and how to use contrast and repetition to make surfaces visually compelling. Ideal for turners ready to push beyond basic embellishment and into expressive sculptural surface work. Participants will gain strategies for designing complex patterns, techniques for combining carving and color, and ideas for pushing turned forms into expressive sculptural surfaces.
