• JANUARY (2025)

  There are no in-house carving classes scheduled for January. The facility is closed on January 20 for the MLK, Jr. holiday, so there will be no meeting on that Monday.

• FEBRUARY (2025)

  Have you ever wanted to carve a Gnome Gneighborhood? Sara Reinthaler and Sheila Hunter will teach a class on carving a tiny house and a tiny spiral tree that can be attached to a small round disk. See photos for details.

  Ideal for beginner and intermediate carvers. Carve several and create your own gnome gneighborhood, complete with trees and houses for a fun scene at a gnominal cost. (Details regarding the cost of the wood blanks coming soon.) Classes will begin on Monday, February 3rd, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM EST and will continue each Monday all month long. Sign up at the club meeting!

• MARCH (2025)

During March, Pat Patrick and Charles Griffin will be leading the group on a mystery carving session—Classes are scheduled on Mondays from 4-5:30 pm in the smaller room. A sign-up sheet will be available by mid February. Please be prepared to pay a small fee for materials (if required); and, of course, bring your own carving tools! There will be judging of completed carvings and there may be a prize or two awarded by the panel of judges! Competition is based mainly on originally—taking a blank shape of wood and generating an “original wood carving art piece.” Study the available blanks and an let your brain and imagination bring out the carving.
