About

Learn whittling — the art of using a single sharp knife to turn a piece of wood into a character rich with detail. The material and tool fit into a pocket or a purse, making this craft an ideal way to be creative during otherwise empty minutes, such time spent waiting for a ferry or between appointments.

In this class, you will learn how to mark a blank, safely whittle it to shape, and add the final details that bring your pieces to life. You will also learn how to keep your knife sharp and how to select good wood for whittling.

This class is open to both beginning carvers and those who already have some carving experience. Open to ages 8+, although those 12 and younger must have an adult with them. When you register please indicate to the right of your name, the name of the youth you are bringing in parentheses.

He was taught early on that he could make anything from wood and he is still trying to prove that statement wrong.
