Hitchcock Folk School | Holiday Wood Carving
December 1 | 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.Hitchcock Nature Center
Join naturalist and artisan Dustin Clayton to learn how to turn wood from Hitchcock’s forests into beautiful decorative items perfect for the holiday season. This three-session class will cover the basics of wood carving using a limited tool kit. We will discuss: History and design, Woodland ecology/sustainable harvest, wood choice, tool choice, safety with edged tools, and tips and techniques for successful carving. Our primary project will be a Scandinavian-style Tomte carving that could make a wonderfully personal, handmade gift for someone special.
