BigTown Conversations presents
a lecture by Floyd Scholz, Master Birdcarver
A Love of Birds, A Passion for Art
Saturday, November 2nd, 3pm
free and open to the public
Floyd Scholz, long-time Hancock, VT resident and founder of the Vermont Raptor Academy, is recognized as one of the preeminent Birdcarvers in the world today. Mastercarver, teacher and best-selling author, Scholz’s portrayal of eagles, hawks, owls and other species have won him a following among museums and collectors worldwide.
On Saturday, November 2, Floyd Scholz will come to BigTown Gallery in Rochester, VT to share stories from his 43 years of birdcarving. Discussing the tools, techniques and thought process that shape the birds created on his workbench, Floyd will take us through his process of transforming an ordinary block of Tupelo into a majestic bird.
Floyd has arranged the visit of live raptors, courtesy of VINS, as part of his presentation.
Seating is limited, please rsvp to reserve your place.
