今日は木彫教室
I went to a wood carving class today.
私にできるのか・・・・
I wonder whether I can make it?
小学校の頃、石鹸でうさぎを彫ったら、四角いうさぎができて、見たくもなかった。
When I was an elementary school student, we had soap carving class but I didn't like my work because that was a squared rabbit.
高校生の頃、日光彫で引き出し作ったけど・・・なんだかしっくりこなかった。
When I was a high school student, we made a drawer with woodcarving but I wasn't comfortable with it.
でも、どうしても作ってみたいものがあって、彫刻刀を握っていました。
However, I was holding a carving knife since there is a something I wanted to make.
教
えてくれるのは、那須の彫刻家山田康雄さん。木のぬくもりのような、あたたかい素敵な方です。
The teacher is Mr. Toshio Yamada, a carver from Nasu and organizer of a wood museum in Nasu. He is a nice and warm person like the warmth of wood.
皆黙々と彫る Carving silently.
彫る Carving.....
彫る Carving.....
いつの間にか私も無心で彫っていました。ある意味自分と向き合う時間。
I also was carving for the sake of it and finding my self. It can be the time to reflect on oneself.
そのうちに、どうしたら彫跡がきれいにだせるのか、造形的にバランスがとれているか・・なんて気になってしまいます。もちろんそんな技術は程遠いのに。。
Eventually, start to get into thinking about how I can make carving track beautifully? or how can I make the balance for shaping?.... Yah I know that it's too early to think about.
夢中になって作るって、楽しいです。一時でも日常から目線を離せる時間かもしれません。
It is fun to be immersed in making. It can be a time releasing my eye from usual life even just for a moment.
何を造っているかって？？ What am I making?!?
ある人へのプレゼントなので、今はまだ内緒です・・。
This is a present for some one, so I can't tell yet..
