Spend a day shaping a simple block of wood into a beautiful, functional bowl using traditional hand tools and time-tested techniques. In this hands-on bowl carving class, you’ll learn how to safely use axes, adzes, gouges, and carving knives to hollow and refine your piece from start to finish.
We’ll cover wood selection, grain orientation, tool sharpening, and proper carving stance so you can work efficiently and confidently. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of green woodworking and the natural movement of wood as it dries.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with your own hand-carved bowl and the skills to continue carving at home—equipped with practical techniques, a stronger eye for form, and a deeper appreciation for the craft.
