Aussie Eggshell Carvers
Following the very successful first
Aussie Carving Camp, held in Goolwa, SA in April 2008
this page has been set up as a resource area for Aussie egg artists
who would like
to broaden their egging pursuits to include carving techniques.
Attendees from the 2008 Camp
Here you will find links for helpful
items for carving and also instructions for items, which I think you
will find useful.
If you find any links you think would be helpful to carvers please
email me with the
details.
2009 Carving & Decorating Camp
The second Aussie Carving Camp will
be held from March 29th, to April 5th, 2009 at Goolwa, South
Australia.
This camp will combine carving and decorating sessions so those who
might be a bit dubious about carving
but would like to experience the fun of an egging retreat, can join in the
fun doing a decorated egg
and have the opportunity to see first hand what carving is all about.
For the newbie carvers Lorna Winch,
winner of the Novice Relief carving section in the 2007 TES carving
competition
will show you how to do 3 different carving techniques on ostrich
and brown chicken eggs.
Tina Boes, internationally acclaimed carved egg artist, is returning for the
2009 camp to show
how to effectively use the different colour layers in an
intermediate emu egg carving class.
For the decorators we haven't
forgotten you either!
Louise Stewart,
whose expertise with mechanical eggart designs is well known,
will be showing how to create a rotating beaded clock.
Like something a bit more manageable?

Butterfly in the
Seminar Gallery

will be available to those who register to attend.
The choice is yours - carving, either
beginners and/or intermediate
or decorating
or a bit of both!
Don't delay - register now for your chance to attend this fun egging
retreat in 2009.
Numbers are limited.
