OTHER ARTS AND CRAFTS FROM AROUND THE STUDIO


Speckled Hen Gourd, Appalachian Fanny Basket,
Long Striped Socks

Obviously these projects are not made from patterns 
available on the website.  However as we do a large
variety of Arts and Crafts including wood carving, wood burning,
oil and watercolor paintings, colored pencils, quilting, knitting,
candle making ....  and this seemed a good place to
show off a few of our other interests.

We hope you enjoyed your visit to our online Gallery and
will stop by again soon.  

      

 

Other great sources on the web for information about
Wood Carving and Wood Burning !!!

 



600+ Woodcarvers that share their experiences,
skills, ideas, and techniques through the digest.
Highly Recommended!

 


Books, Magazines, and Online Chat!
If you visit, plan to stay for awhile.

 

 

  

RESUME

Lora S. Irish and Mike Irish are the owners of
Classic Carving Patterns.  
We enjoy a wonderful rural setting in the foothills of the Maryland
Appalachian Mountains where our home studio is based and where we live with our
five domestic shorthair felines ... beloved barn cats!

We are also  the owners of
Fine Art Dog Prints, an art prints gallery 
featuring over 62 of the World's top canine artists and over 
1000 Limited Edition Fine Art Prints.

Currently we are members of
The National Wood Carvers Association,
the
WoodCarvers Digest and the Wood Carvers Illustrated Message Board.

Lora is an accomplished oil canvas artist, colored pencil artist,
pyrographer,
crafts and patterns designer and book author,
as well as a 
National
recognized wood carver. She is a Contributing Editor of 
Wood Carving Illustrated Magazine. 

Michael is the studio webmaster as well as a fine furniture wood worker
with a strong background in wood working tools and equipment.

Together we enjoy teaching wood carving and wood burning on the internet.
Our focus is on the beginning crafter and helping them discover the
fun of wood crafts.  Our art gallery, Art Designs Studios, began in 1982 and was
introduced to the internet as a print and pattern studio in 1997.
By 1998 our studio had grown to become two independent websites and
we are still growing, each and every day.
