Chris Hammack, who is the newest member of the Caricature Carvers of America, rides again by returning to teaching woodcarving seminars.  Following several successful years of operating his own casting business of carved subjects and supplying sculpted subjects for the gift industry, Chris is devoting more of his time to his first love of not only creating unique woodcarving art for his valued collectors but also teaching his art to other woodcarving enthusiasts. 

More about Chris and  his art can be viewed at his website http://chrishammackart.com/

Pictured above in the first photograph is Chris and his notorious tool box that contain a simple array of a couple of carving knives and a few carving tools used to create his unique art that comes from his creative mind.  The second photograph is of Chris giving an instructional demonstration to carving student Larry Piety.  The third photograph is of the Class taught by Chris at the Eastern Woodland Carving Club in Converse, Indiana the first of October, 2010.

Examples of the style and subject of the woodcarvings created by Chris are depicted in the following photographs. Click on each photo to enlarge.
