Woodcarving for Beginners

This class is designed to introduce people who have never carved before to the art of woodcarving. Learn about the tools you need, how to care for the tools and how to use them safely. Learn how to make the basic cuts: stop cut, push cut, pull cut. Create a “3-minute owl” with step-by-step instructions from other carvers. Students work in small groups with a dedicated instructor who will walk them through all the steps.

Carving kits (carving knife, strop, thumb guard, wood pieces and sandpaper) will be available for students to buy for $30.

Instructors are members of the Capital Area Carvers of Wisconsin
