Carve the Eliphalet Chapin Cartouche with Will Neptune

chapin_cartoucheWhat can be more elegant, graceful and unique than the “rooster” cartouche which adorned South Windsor furniture maker Eliphalet Chapin’s high chests? And who better to teach the class than Will Neptune- who has studied Chapin’s work extensively and is one of the top carvers in the country. In this unique weekend class students will learn to shape and carve this striking pierced cartouche. Chapins' interpretation of Philadelphia Rococo design removes most of the fussy detail and relies on flowing curves for it's effect.  Learning to make this streamlined cartouche doesn't require previous carving experience and is a great place to learn basic carving techniques.
