Learn basic carving holds with an iconic Swedish Dala horse in this afternoon-long class! This workshop invites students to put on some carving gloves, pick up a Swedish carving knife, and pre-cut a basswood blank, bringing their very own Dala horse to life. Led by instructor Jess Hirsch, we’ll discuss basic carving safety, carving techniques, caring for tools and our carved objects, and finishing options. You’ll leave with a unique Dala horse ready to be painted, oiled, or otherwise embellished.
