Kirt and Linda Curtis
Seminars are usually 3 days, but occasionally run 4 or 5 days. Kirt and Linda welcome new carvers and are known for their step-by-step easy instruction in both carving and painting the finished carving during the seminars. They also judge woodcarving competitions and create commission pieces.
Kirt and Linda (Langenberg) Curtis are a husband and wife
woodcarving team from Marion, Iowa, each with over 20 years experience.
They specialize in carving North American mammals in-the-round, in
either basswood or butternut. Each fall, leading up to the holiday
season they also carve Santa Claus and snowmen figures in cottonwood
bark. Kirt earned his degree in fine arts at Rochester, New York, and
became a full time woodcarver and carving instructor in the late 80's.
He has traveled the United States and Canada teaching woodcarving
seminars. Linda began teaching in 1999, and now retired, she has joined
Kirt to team-teach as well as teaching individual classes.
