Get hands-on with the art of wood carving! Learn traditional carving techniques using hand tools as you explore wood grain, proper chisel use, and sharpening techniques. You’ll put your skills to work creating two relief carvings—a box to practice perspective and an oak leaf for more freeform carving.

If you enjoy working with your hands and creating something from a simple piece of wood, this class is a great place to start!
