Frank Adamo 2009 Work Shops ! Watch for dates !

I try to schedule three to four work shops at my home and studio in Pocasset during the winter months. Helps keep us Cape Codders from going totally bonkers with "cabin fever".

We work on a piece that can be completed in one day, so everyone leaves with a sense of accomplishment ! Projects are aimed at new to intermediate carvers, and the class limit is eight.

Though a usual work shop lasts, six to eight hours, many hours are spent in preparation. Planning, making cut-outs, line drawings, collecting needed materials, so that each student is given a complete "kit" , along with my undivided attention. Always a fun time, with the latest country, pop, and classical music in the background ! Oh ya, and my "latest jokes" ! ( but don't let that stop you ) !

I recently gave a mini work-shop for students interested in painting only. We completed a flat eight by ten painting of an antique eider decoy.

The best thing about work shops as I mentioned earlier, is that everyone goes home wit a beautiful piece that THEY created !

I give private and semi-private lessons by appointment.

Recent one and a half day work shop, carving and painting an Adirondack Style mini trout wall mount. This was the first fish carving for two of the students, and they all went home with a beautiful piece of art and nature. Even I completed one right along with them as I demonstrated and led the way. When we took a lunch break,They were treated to my "World famous" stuffed quahogs ! Nothing but the best for such talented carvers !
