Moving on from carving wood spirits on cottonwood bark, Harold Kaltenbach will show us how to carve a gnome home from cottonwood bark. Two examples are shown in the photo. All houses will look different and unique based on what the wood tells the carver.
This is part 2 of 2 sessions. Also note - If you are a beginner just joining us, we will have a simple beginner project for you.
NOTE: Please arrive by 5:30pm so we have the most time to learn to carve this project.
ALSO: This is an Onondaga County facility so Masks are now required. Please be prepared.

Covid Info: On May 26th, the WWCNY Board authorized restarting in-person events based on what facilities are open. Where possible, the events will be hybrid - with both in-person and Zoom sessions. WWCNY recognizes the mask-wearing and other safety guidelines as issued by the CDC, New York State, and Onondaga County. Members shall abide by requirements set by each host location regarding mask wearing. We trust you. If there is no mandated use of a mask and you are not comfortable without a mask, feel free to wear one. If you are required to wear a mask, you must wear one as without it you could jeopardize our use of the faciliites. Please have proof of vaccination available if needed. And, as is always the case, if you don't feel good (even if not due to Covid), we ask that you stay home.
