Heart & Hand: Chip Carving with Peter Findlay

Chip carving, or Kerbschnitt in German, is a style of wood carving that uses knives and chisels to remove small chips in a single piece, to create geometrical designs.

Chip carver, Peter Findlay, joins us on the Joseph Schneider Haus porch to demonstrate and explain his technique and art. 

Don't forget to say hello to Peter at the Heart & Hand Festival, Saturday, Sept. 24 at Joseph Schneider Haus, 466 Queen St. S., Kitchener
