Join our regular free chip carving workshop and explore the world of this intricate art form. Led by our club member Roman Chernikov, a skilled chip carver and experienced instructor, you’ll master carving techniques, learn to use chip carving knives, and craft beautiful projects.
At the workshop, each participant receives a basswood chip carving practice board featuring traditional patterns and a coaster design. Not only will you leave with newly acquired chip carving skills, but you’ll also take home a functional coaster — a piece of art for your space, thanks to READ N TRY for sponsoring the chip carving practice boards. Don’t worry about tools; we provide sharp chip carving knives for use during the workshop, though the knives must be returned afterward.
Our sessions offer more than just practical skills. Delve into chip carving history, learn about different knives, and get sharpening tips. Unleash your creativity by designing your own chip carving patterns.
With ample hands-on practice time, you can complete your board and coaster during the session or at home. Whether you’re a beginner or want to refine your skills, our welcoming workshops cater to all levels.
Given the popularity of our free chip carving workshop, we recommend checking our schedule and securing your spot for the next session. We look forward to carving out creative moments with you — see you there!
