Looking to pick up a new hobby? Or maybe just spend an afternoon outdoors working with your hands? This wood carving workshop, with two of The Guelph Outdoor School’s most accomplished carvers, might be just the place for you. 

Come join David Wilson and Matt Hamilton as they teach you basic and advanced carving techniques to get you well on your way to creating your own one-of-a-kind cooking utensil. 

In this session you can expect to learn:

• Different wood types and how they react to drying, carving and finishing

• How to harvest wood in a sustainable and ethical way

• Different knife grips and carving techniques

• What tools to use for what jobs

• How to work in a way that will prevent fatigue and damage to your body

If this sounds like a good time, please come join us fireside for good conversation and comraderie as we explore our creative sides in GOS' beautiful cedar forest.

 Bring your own carving knife. Participants will be provided with a wood blank to start their project.
