“I like to look at people's faces." Some people may think the statement is a bit strange, but that is how Norman Gammon gets his woodcarving ideas. For the past three years, the Waterloo resident has been teaching the craft of woodcarving through the Community Services Board. Not only does he teach the craft, but he spends many of his spare hours at his Erb Street home carving articles. "My grandtatherias a woodcarver and my mother taught my brother and I watercolours. I guess I've Woodcarver teaches his craft Mark Buck of Waterloo holds up his piece of apple wood which he's been carving into a face during a woodcarving program, Monday nights. sponsor ed by Waterloo's community services.

Twelve years ago he be- came genuinely interested in the craft. Since then, he has made numerous and diversified articles for pleasure and for sale. Among his precious works is a three-foot long Last Supper sculpture which enhances his living room. It was made from an ll- foot long birchwood. "It took me 503 hours to make it, 170 of which were spent sanding," he recalls. "The woman who ordered it never contacted me again. That was the last time I started a project without adeposit." A pair of life-sire pryV- dor are among the aesthe- tic articles he has made for friends and acquaint- ances for gifts. The mata- dor which stands about six inches high, was made from an 8tFyear-old roll- ing pin. Mr. Gammon does not sell his works in shops, only on a personal basis. Although his works are made with intricate care, he doesn't expect the same of his night school students. “l tri and get them to do fairly simple things."

Men and women alike can master the craft of woodcarving, he says. Persistence and patience are the main requirements in finishing each piece of work. "It helps to have an eye for proportions and a cer- tain amount of imagina- tion," says Mr. Gammon. "There are certain basics in carving if you are mak- ing a figure of a person. The head and face is shaped first to get the body in proportion." Mr. Gammon says he likes to limit his class size to 10 as Ws challenging to keep track of IO differ- ent projects. "I rarely get someone in the class who wipes out," he says. The main reason being is his soft-hearted- ness. If one of the students has difficulty with their projects, he brings it home and works on it to assist A groundskeeper at the University of Waterloo, Mr. Gammon finds teach- ing gratifying in that “one night a week people are doing what I enjoy - wood- carving." The 10 week woodcarv- ing session is held Mondays from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. at Alexandra Public School. The second session starts Jan. 12. Besides learning Magic Carpet Story Time for preschoolers is held Tuesday mornings, 10:15 a.m. at Waterloo Public Library, to carve, students also master the use of various wood finishes which will enhance their work. Those who wish to pass on to more complicated pieces in keeping with sculpturing will be encour- aged to do so. Basic tools are relatively inexpensive and should not be purchased until after the first session. "Last year, one woman finished five pieces in one session, but most people only complete one article," says Mr. Gammon.
