Explore the art of caricature whittling in this hands-on, beginner-friendly program led by accomplished local woodcarvers. Learn to draw and carve a basic wood spirit that can be transformed into a cowboy, Santa, or whimsical character of choice. The first session includes a knife sharpening demo by Tom Makosky and guided carving instruction from Joe McCarthy. In the second session, enjoy demos on cypress knee caricatures, painting, sanding, and finishing techniques. A lighthearted Jeopardy-style quiz adds to the fun, concluding with a group photo showcasing participants’ creations. Materials provided if needed; all skill levels are welcome. Snacks included.
