Community Education of the Black Hills

Woodcarving and whittling is an ancient form of expression…and some classify it as a 'lost art'. Even with very little experience, you can make creative and interesting projects. This class will focus on beginning carving. You will learn about tools, types of wood, and various techniques. Wood and other supplies for small class projects will be provided, but students will need to bring their own basic woodcarving knife (1 to 1 ½ inch blade), that can be found at Who’s Hobby in Rapid City, other local hobby stores, or various online woodcarving retailers. Good brands to look for are FlexCut, Warren Cutlery, Mastercarver, BeaverCraft, etc. Ages 18 yrs old and older are welcome. There is a strict limit on class size. NOTE: Additional $30 supply fee paid to instructor.
