• 14 & 15 November: 10am-4pm both days (Rain dates: 28 & 29 November)

Experience the fun and challenge of designing and carving hollow forms from green wood in this two-day bowl carving workshop. Using hand tools such as adzes, axes, gouges, hooks, and knives, you’ll learn advanced carving techniques to shape, refine, and finish your very own bowl. This workshop offers an opportunity to deepen your woodworking skills and learn to create functional, beautiful objects. While open to beginners, this class is best suited for those already comfortable with hand tools. If you’re new to carving, we recommend starting with one of our spoon carving workshops.
