BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster presents
Bird Carving 101 with Stephen C. Rich <b>Tuesdays & Thursdays, June
6th - August 31st 9:30am-1pm.<br>
</b> <br>
Cape Cod wildlife woodcarver, Stephen C. Rich demonstrated an early
interest in science and nature, taking up wood carving in 1987. Although
largely self-taught, Stephen has studied under some of the best known
carvers in local classes given by carver/ teacher, June Noll, and in
seminars with established carvers like Ernest Muellmatt, Jim Sprankle,
Lynn Forehand and Greg Woodard. After starting with a few, simple
decoys, he made steady progress into the ranks of advanced wood carvers
and artisans. He has also done extensive research on his subjects,
building a library of materials, photographs and videos to achieve
maximum authenticity. <br>
<br>
Stephen has lived on Cape Cod since 1985 with his studio located near the
waterways and marshlands of Osterville and Marstons Mills. This is the
habitat of hawks, osprey, blue herons, ducks of all kinds, swans and
countless other species. It is not only an inspiring environment,
but one which permits the study of New England wildlife at first
hand.<br>
<br>
Join Stephen in the scenic Marshview Room at the Museum to observe a rare
demonstration on how a simple block of wood transforms into a beautiful
bird! Ask questions and enjoy the Eldridge Arnold carving workshop
exhibit!<br><br>
Free with Museum Admission<br>
