Step-by-step instructions for the delicate process of carving a nativity, with clear color photography illustrating each technique. An old tradition is shared here with today's carvers. Author Helen Gibson, a teacher of wood carving at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, shares instructions for carving a nativity. The patterns for the creche she carves have been part of the tradition of the school for so long that no one is quite sure of their origins. Carving them is a community effort, with different carvers having different specialties. Gibson takes the reader step by step through the delicate carving process of one of the figures, with clear color photography illustrating each technique. Patterns and complete views for the Mary, Joseph, three wise men, three shepherds, and the baby in the manager are included. Read more
