Bowl Turning with Carbide Tools

with Ryan Stevens

Wednesday, September 2, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

Are you interested in taking a fun and creative woodworking class? If so, this class is for you! It’s the perfect make-and-take bowl turning class for beginners (no experience needed). In this class, you can focus solely on the creative process of bowl turning. We use carbide tools, which are amazingly durable and stay sharp much longer than traditional turning tools. We also explore the range of carbide tools available and how to use them, and we provide basic lathe techniques to help you turn the perfect bowl. Note: A $20 materials fee (cash or Venmo) is payable to the instructor at the class

Tiny Dwellings: Beginning Bark-House Carving

with Megan Crawford

Sunday, September 13, 2026, 10 AM - 4 PM

Interested in bark carving? Learn how to turn rugged slabs of locally foraged cottonwood bark into whimsical woodland cottages. With expert guidance, you’ll practice essential knife and gouge techniques to shape flaky bark into doorways, shingled roofs, chimneys, and stone‑look textures. You’ll leave with a completed 4"–6" bark house and the confidence to keep carving on your own. Loaner carving tools are provided by Woodcraft, and additional materials will be available for purchase.
