• There will be 3 to 4 sessions in the morning, and 3 in the afternoon with a 4th table set up for painting.

• Each session will cost $10. You may take a morning and afternoon project on each day or take only one class.

• Space for each session is limited, and will be first come, first served. Registration & payment will secure your spot.

• There will also be a table set up all day with paints and brushes for you to paint your carvings, someone will be available to help you if needed. There is no charge for this session.
