Have you always thought it would be fun to learn how to carve?  This is the ideal class to try woodcarving for the first time!  Learn to carve a traditional Swedish Dala horse with Alan Pearson from the Red River Valley Woodcarvers.  This is a 2-part class:  First, we will carve the horse, and second, we will paint it.

This class will cover carving safety, tool selection, reading wood grains as well as different carving techniques.  We will be using a carving knife and an optional #3 gouge.  There will be safety equipment and tools available to borrow.
