Mid-Wisconsin Chippers Annual woodcarving
The Mid-Wisconsin Chippers Annual
woodcarving show is moving to the Oshkosh Convention Center in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin this coming spring. Our show date is Sunday May 5th. The
2019 show is moving to a great venue that is about a 3 hour drive from
Rockford with plenty of parking, a food concession, wood and tool vendors.
A club table is only $30 and entitles six of your
club members to have one entry each in the competition for judging. A
regular single artist table is also only $30, but
entitles that artist to 4 entries for judging.
This year with our move to Oshkosh, we hope to see some BlackHawk carvers
here promoting their club and bringing their art to Oshkosh. Our Show theme
is "Everything you need to get started and grow in Woodcarving." We always
have many pyrographers too. Attached is our 2019 Table Registration form
and our form for Judging Rules and Show Guidelines as well as a summary of
show info.
In addition, our club is sponsoring five upcoming classes. are in our
December newsletter on our website with sign up forms and other information.
Betsy Popp will have a six day class on the Pygmy Owl (Feb. 28, March 1,2,
7,8, and 9). Lee Belanger will teach a cottonwood bark carving class on a
lighthouse (March 14, and 15). One of your own, Denny Neubauer, of Denny
Knife fame, will teach three classes: knife making on May 6th, Sharpening on
May 7th, and carving "Little people" on May 8th. Please spread the word to
your club and if anyone has any questions they should feel free to call me
or send me an e-mail.
Thanks,
Cedric Richeson, Secretary Mid-Wis. Chippers Woodcarving Club. e-mail:
