The Art Guild of DI carves out creative fun

The Art Guild of Daniel Island, at its November meeting, was treated to a fascinating demonstration by master wood carver and artist, John Geraci of Summerville. John is an award winning artist who has been carving for over ten years. He creates models of whales, fish, whimsical houses, and cartoon-like characters. John’s favorite piece to create, however, is the “fan bird.” Art guild members were captivated by John’s skill as they watched him create a fan bird through manipulation of dampened cotton wood using a variety of carving tools.

The Art Guild meets the third Monday of the month, September through May, at the Daniel’s Landing clubhouse. For information about upcoming meetings or becoming an AGDI member please contact Karol Skelly at k_skelly@bellsouth.net.
