What is this?

This is the tenth, and final, installment of articles, written for Artisan Crafts Month, which introduce the Artisan Crafts sub-galleries by talking about what they are, how to do work within them, and featuring artwork from the galleries. In this edition I will be talking about the Woodworking Gallery!

What is Woodworking?

Defintion from deviantART Gallery Description:

Artisan crafts created using wood as a medium, and can include carvings, constructs, and etchings.

In this category you should submit your piece if it is made majorly of wood, or wood manipulation.

I found a miscat! What do I do?

That's easy! Whenever you think you have found a miscategorization, there is one crucial thing that you need to do. Go to the deviation page, and in the Artist's Description box you will see a link titled, "Report Policy Violation" (It is located under the Picture information / Thumb code box). Go here, and click "Miscategorization" in the drop-down menu located next to the 'Type of Violation' section. In the 'Comment' section you will want to take the time to tell the Artisan Crafts Gallery Director (^Myana) why it does not belong, and why it should be moved. Let her know a possible new home (category) for it, and any information that might be helpful to her in the process of dealing with the Miscat.

You can see how this could be done here:



Some things that don't belong in Woodworking:

• Painted wood belongs in Traditional Art.
