Description
We're sorry, but this class is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
In this 7-week course, you'll learn the fundamentals of woodcarving using traditional hand tools like carving knives and palm gouges. Starting with the basics of whittling, you'll progress through a series of fun, seasonal projects designed to build your skills and confidence. Projects might include charming mini pumpkins, friendly turkeys, playful gnomes, and other delightful fall-themed designs. You'll gain hands-on experience with essential techniques, including tool safety, basic cuts, and an introduction to various carving styles such as chip carving, caricature, and flat-plane carving. Whether you follow provided patterns or design your own, this class will equip you with the skills to continue carving your creations at home.
No prior experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to learn!
