Calling all Carvers
If the class is full, register yourself on the WAITLIST, and if there are cancellations, we'll contact those first. Or, contact one of the leaders.
Calling all carvers - experienced or beginners. We want to provide wood carving opportunities for those in or around Newberg. If experienced, come hangout, carve with us, and share your knowledge.
If you are new to carving, consider taking one or more of the weekly January classes.
The facility is closed Feb 17th so there will be no meeting.
CLASSES
We have five classes for beginners. No experience is required, and all tools and supplies are provided. Each class stands alone so you can take one or all four. If there is enough interest, the series will be repeated and other carving classes will be explored. The classes in their sequence are:
Whittling - use only a knife to create a stylized otter.
Incised - use only a V tool to create a sign or other line art
Relief - use three tools to create a floral pattern
Power - use a low power Dremel-like rotary tool to make a comfort bird
Sharpening - practicing stropping, and explore grinding and honing
DATES/TIMES - 3 hours, dates as noted, bring food or snacks as needed
COST - Free. Wood, tools, and safety gloves are provided. You can checkout tools after the classes. Bring your own if you want.
