Schnitzschule Geisler-Moroder.
Text soon! Too tired, but here are some pictures at least!
 |
| A guest house near the school, with glorious trompe-l'oeil painting. |
 |
| A walk I took several times, very close to the Schnitzschule. |
 |
| My lovely room at the Schnitzschule Geisler-Moroder. |
 |
| The classroom I was in my first week at the school. |
 |
| Each student gets a set of 15 Stubai carving gouges to work with for the duration of a class. |
 |
| Students at the school copy from models, mostly. Some of them show a progression from an early stage to completion. |
 |
| "Roughed out" Jesuses for purchase in the carving supply store. |
 |
| Working on a relief from photos of magnolia leaves I took before I left California. |
 |
| Magnolia leaves nearing completion. |

I carved this head using a model that was, to my perception, JFK on one side, and a skull on the other.
I wasn't interested in carving a skull so I extrapolated a full face. I also changed the features and eliminated the hair. |

My class group from the third week, with our teacher, Pascal. The other
students in this group came from Austria, Denmark, Australia, England and Scotland,
plus a couple of Americans living in Europe. |
