Sign-up is not necessary for most classes as most
last for only one session, others may
take a couple of days to complete. You can join many
of them any time of day,
and are welcome to join us any day during the Roundup.
This is a great opportunity to try out the many different
types of carving.
There is no cost for workshops - however
there is a moderate cost for workshop supplies.
All instruction is totally volunteer and we happily
