Wood Carving

Fall 2026

Friday Mornings

Instructor Paul Seery

All levels welcome

 

This class introduces students to the fundamentals of wood carving through hands-on practice, guided discussion, and project-based learning. Each class includes short, interactive discussions on safety, body mechanics, knife handling and care, and stropping and compounds. Students will also discuss the economics of wood carving, practical ways to keep costs down, and the philosophy of work and creativity. Each student will learn foundational carving skills and choose a project based on interest and experience level. Projects include beginner campfire whittling, Christmas ornaments, spoons, a ball-in-a-box, and fish or whale carving.

 

Students will provide their own tools, safety gear, and materials. Your instructor will review tools, materials, and supply needs with you on the first day of class. Estimated initial cost of tools and materials: $75.00+. Please note initial costs are higher for new students because essential starter supplies are required. 

This course has no requirements.
