Kolrosing
You asked for a Kolrosing class and Hal will teach it this year! Here's your opportunity to learn the ancient art of kolrosing. Kolrosing is similar to scrimshaw carving in that it uses fine cutting lines that were filled in coal (Kol) to highlight the design. Hal uses fine ground coffee in his kolrosing to create the contract! Bring your knife you made in Hal's morning class, your spoon from Frank's Tuesday class OR pick from some carved items Hal will bring for sale.
Kit cost: $5.00 per utensil
