Historic Woodcarving on June 18

While this craft has existed for thousands of years, in early America, carving was a necessity for creating kitchen tools, furniture, and decorative items. Participants will learn carving history and test their skills by crafting with soap, focusing on techniques that turn simple materials into works of art.
