PebbleCreek Woodcarvers Club members completed a Wood Spirit Carving class on November 8, 2017. The class was taught by Chuck Schuldt (second from right) and attended by (from left to right) Larry Matney, Jane Peacock and Jerry Matousek. During the class students carved two wood spirits from different types of wood. Wood spirits are mythical creatures that inhabit woods and can bring good fortune.
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. of 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.
The Woodcarving Club has the following carving classes scheduled for the 2017/2018 carving season. Contact Joel Hawkins via email at [email protected] for information on classes and updates to the schedule.
