Anton (Tony) Erickson, was born in New Boston, New Hampshire and attended The Boston School of Architecture and later, Foundation College for Graphic Arts in San Diego, CA. Tony carves commissioned pieces and instructs at various carving roundups and carving clubs throughout the USA. Tony doesn’t use patterns nor pictures but instead encourages his students to use their imagination to create new and original pieces by teaching Gnome Homes and Other Places of Distinction. No words can describe the projects that his students will carve and it is highly recommend that you look at his web site at  www.woodakoodashooda.com  His classes are fun and students will walk away with carvings that are sure to please. Tony along with his wife Lucille host the Suwannee River Woodcarvers Roundup in Florida.
