Carved Wooden Bowl (Rīkona)

- 8 & 9 November: 10am-4pm both days (rain dates: 6 & 7 December

This two-day workshop invites you to experience the fun and challenge of designing and carving large hollow forms from green wood. Using hand tools like adzes, axes, gouges, hooks, and knives, you’ll learn advanced carving techniques to shape, refine, and finish your very own bowl. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to deepen your woodworking skills and learn to create functional, beautiful objects. While open to beginners, this class is best suited for those already comfortable with hand tools. If you’re new to woodworking, Douglas’s Beginner Spoon Carving workshop is a good place to start.

Please note:

- All materials and tools will be provided.
- This class is held over two days and is weather dependent. You must be able to make the rain dates too.
- A refund will not be given if the first dates are cancelled due to weather and you cannot make the rain date.
- This workshop is suitable for adults and only suited to those who can work safely without direct supervision with very sharp hand tools.

Cancellation
