Artist in Residency comes to EWG!

Posted: January 25, 2011

Starting January 27 through until February 9th the EWG Middle School will play host to the Wood Chuck. Through the Department of Wellness, Culture and Sports Arts Development Branch an application was approved to have Chuck Bernard come into EWG and work with the students to develop their own personal carvings with a cultural theme. Each student in grades 6-8 will receive two hours of instruction and have the opportunity to use carving tools to create their own design. On Jan. 27th and 28th the woodcarver will be set up in the Cultural Center displaying his creations and carving. Parents are encouraged to drop in and see Mr. Bernard in action, the students will also get a chance to see firsthandwhat they will be doing before getting down to their projects. The Wood Chuck has been featured in the TImes & Transcript and has a life story to tell. To visit his studio you can find him at 1154 Route 475 Bouctouche Baie, NB.
