Studio Fu: Carve Your Own Bamboo Pens

Unlock Your Artistic Potential with Studio Fu: Mastering Your Art Space & Techniques

Hi, I’m Jen Dixon, an artist and tutor with over 30 years of experience selling my artwork. I've distilled years of practice into practical tips and tricks for maximizing your art space and creative process. Studio Fu is my approach to "Kung Fu" – literally, "time spent at skillful work." These short, focused classes are designed to help you optimize your time, tools, and techniques as an artist.

In this episode of Studio Fu, we'll dive into crafting your own bamboo pens. Why make your own when you can buy them? Because it's an incredibly rewarding skill! You'll gain the satisfaction of learning something new, create as many pens as you desire (limited only by your time and bamboo supply), and develop impressive knife skills – guaranteed to earn you some bragging rights!

The introduction video provides a comprehensive materials list (also available in the Project section). Get ready for a very hands-on experience involving sharp tools, power tools, and the ultimate artistic glory! Let's get started on this exciting project.
