Learn relief carving and take home a finished, tactile artwork that's not only visually striking but also a meaningful piece to take home. Adults. Registration required, click for more details.

This workshop introduces you to the technique of low-relief carving—where forms gently emerge from a flat base—allowing you to experiment with depth, line, and texture. You’ll learn how to handle molding tools, plan  our composition, and carve with intention to bring out intricate details in your design. Whether inspired by nature or working intuitively, the process is both calming and creatively rewarding.
