Whimsical Whittling: Carve Your Own Wooden Critter

Step into the playful side of woodworking in this beginner-friendly whittling class where imagination leads the way. Using simple hand tools and a block of wood, you’ll carve your own whimsical critter — a charming, character-filled sculpture with personality all its own.

Inspired by organic shapes and folk-art traditions, participants will learn safe knife techniques, shaping methods, and how to bring movement and expression into a small carved form. Whether your creature grows a curved tail, tiny feet, textured details, or painted accents, no two critters will ever be the same.

In this class you’ll learn:

• Safe and effective whittling techniques

• How to shape curves and flowing forms

• Adding carved details and surface texture

• Simple finishing and painting techniques to bring your creature to life

Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike, this class focuses on creativity, hand skills, and the joy of carving. You’ll leave with a finished wooden critter ready to display — and the confidence to keep carving at home.

All materials and tools are provided. No prior carving experience needed.

Come carve, relax, and let your imagination run wild.
