In October 1990, a small group of woodcarvers from around
the country met in a back room in Fort Worth, Texas, to discuss caricature
carving. From that meeting, the Caricature Carvers of America was created: an
organization of nationally recognized carvers, all with diverse caricature
carving styles, dedicated to the promotion of their favorite craft.
Seventeen years later, this selective 25-seat organization continues to elevate
and promote the art of caricature carving. Although they’ve never made claims of
being “the best,” the members of the Caricature Carvers of America have garnered
hundreds of “Best of Show” and First Place awards, have taught countless
seminars, and have published over 100 popular books on the subject of caricature
carving.
In one amazing volume, Caricature Carvers Showcase introduces you to this
exclusive society and 30 of its active and emeritus members. With biographies,
original caricature patterns, expert carving and design techniques, and helpful
painting tips, Caricature Carvers Showcase spotlights some of America’s fi nest
caricature carvers and celebrates their talents.
