Description :

This carving workshop integrates learning about the trees on the land around us with spending time carving your very own project. For beginners and intermediate carvers alike, we aim to inspire wood carving interests in an immersive and inclusive way. You'll be introduced to the ecology of the land, tree anatomy and hand tools safety and their uses. You'll learn how to carve your own spoon using a knife and a variety of hand tools.

Join us at the Guelph Outdoor School to learn together from the land and be with good company whilst being led by knowledgeable and passionate instructors. We'll provide wood for our projects. You are welcome to bring your own tools and any projects you might be working on. Instructors will have some tools to lend, and tools are also available for purchase at registration checkout.
