Description

In this wonderful new book an old tradition is shared with today's carvers.

Helen Gibson, a new author at Schiffer Publishing, teaches woodcarving at the John C.

Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. The patterns for the creche she carves have been part of the tradition of the school for so long that no one is quite sure of their origins.

Carving them is a community effort, with different carvers having different specialties.

Helen takes the reader step-by-step through the delicate carving process of one of the figures, with clear color photography illustrating each technique.

Patterns and complete views for the Mary, Joseph, three Wisemen, three Shepherds, and the baby in the manager are included.

Helen started carving when she was in about the fifth grade.

She now lives and works at the school in Brasstown, North Carolina.
