Carving Classes:
Several of our club members offer local carving classes. Chip, caricature, relief, and other carving-style classes are available.
Classes are presented either in mentored or group sessions. Participants range in skill levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Please contact the class instructor to confirm class schedule, space availability, location, and other details. If an instructor can not be otherwise contacted, come to a scheduled session to participate or schedule a future class.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON
(Virtual that is: May 1 - May 30)
Hi Fellow Capitol Woodcarvers
Imagine 120 or more varied and outstanding works of carving and burning art. Each one, large, small, complete, or in-progress, will serve to make our club proud of our 2021 Virtual Show. Please take a minute or two to snap pictures of your accomplishments, from this past year. Multiple entries are encouraged. Email them to Bob Curtis and he will take it from there. Last year our Virtual Show received statewide, and even nationwide attention from the carving community. One viewer called it the best virtual show he had seen. We received many inquiries and several new members from last year’s show. This year it will be extra important to have every Club member participate! Thank you in advance for your effort in helping Capitol Woodcarvers.
