The PebbleCreek Woodcarvers Club completed a Basics of Woodcarving class on October 25, 2017. The class was taught by Joel Hawkins (far right) and attended by (from left) Gary Switak, Jane Peacock and Larry Matney. During the class students carved and painted a pumpkin.
The Woodcarvers Club meets in the Quail Room in the Creative Arts building on the Tuscany side of PebbleCreek. The club has general meetings on the second Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. each month from October to April. If you are interested in woodcarving, stop by to see completed work and meet club members. Most members have had little or no experience carving prior to taking one of the club’s classes. Carving equipment is available for use during your first two classes to see if you like carving. So stop by the Quail Room and see what you can create from a block of wood.
