Studying Wood Carving
Students can get a lot out of learning woodcarving under masters like Muka and Anom in Mas. If you go every day, you can learn to carve your own mask in about three weeks. The carver guides and supervises your work. Most students buy their own knives so they can continue carving at home. Because of all the carving activity on the island, Bali is one of the best places in Indonesia to buy a set of carving knives-chisels, gouges, scrapers, and mallets in every shape and size. The steel in better sets comes from ground-down automobile springs or concrete reinforcing rods and keeps its edge better than stainless steel. The better sets include 18 tools, two wooden mallets, and three finishing knives. Ask around the carving villages or buy them where Muka buys his. |
