Vermont woodcarver Wuerslin stakes future on art

Wuerslin, a Vermont sculptor living in Sandgate, continues to carve from wood after 20 years of dedication. He has completed two pieces in a woman series and a five foot tall mother and child, with an infant piece in progress. He seeks funds from the Vermont Council on the Arts to cover wood blocks costing 600 to 700 dollars each, plans more works, and remains confident in his talent while balancing life as a bus driver for Arlington schools.
