Red River Valley Woodcarvers

A vision, a dream, or just simply curiosity, what does it take to get you to create?

Here are a few pics that I hope will inspire the creative spirit in you.

Maybe you will pull an old project out that you put away months ago. Today is the day that you will give it life!

Maybe you think that you don’t have it in you anymore? The artist in you has laid dormant so long that you have accepted it’s absence? Right now, this very moment is the time to start the reawakening!  Grab some tools, don’t even think about what you are going to make…just enjoy the fun of creating!

Maybe, I caught you on a day where all your plans for your project are running smoothly. That’s great! Step away from your work for just a minute. Now, I want you to look at all the stuff you have laid out on your workspace. Some of you will have tons of tools, anything from glue to razor sharp gouges. Others will only have a single knife and a block of wood in their hands.

Take a minute to realize that no matter the amount of tools we use…it all starts with our love for creation!

It is that time of year again when artist all over Fargo-Moorhead open their studio doors and let us in to see where they work and how they think! Studio Crawl 2015 will have our very own Ruth Severson and Barry Kutzer showing off some of their work on October 3 & 4. Make sure you do not miss this awesome opportunity to visit Ruth & Barry or any of the other super talented artist of our community.
