“Alec LaCasse is an inspiring young artist from the Detroit area whose specialty is carving the realistic face using both wood and stone,” shared Kim Krieger, Media Relations Manager. “We’re looking forward to an evening of creative inspiration and fun at this live interview and demonstration at our 1920s Theater and Speakeasy.
Alec LaCasse is a sculptor of the human face and for nine years has taught thousands of artists about the art of carving the realistic face in wood. As a teacher, Alec helps artists with tools and techniques to achieve realism in human expression.
His artworks include: “Christ with a Crown of Thorns”, “Geometric Greenman” and “Sleeping Woman”. In addition to his creative carving, Alec is also the founder of the Fundamentals of Woodcarving School where he teaches both online and in person.
