Celtic Drinking Horns date back to the early 8th century in Northern Europe and were originally made from an actual auroch bull’s horn. Since they are now extinct, students will use wood for this project. Participants will learn to turn, cut apart, reassemble, and carve their horn into a magnificent, twisted shape. The beautiful curves of the horn emulate the drinking vessels of Viking warriors. Students will turn a large champagne flute shape, use a jig on the bandsaw to cut it into wedge-shaped pieces, then reassemble them into a curved horn. Learn to finesse this glue-up into a pleasing curve, and decorate the horn with carvings, textures, and color to create a piece or work of beauty. Each Celtic Drinking Horn will be fit for a Viking King! Join Michael in this exciting class, gaining skills to turn, carve, and embellish this unique drinking vessel!
