Adult Program
Wood Carving with Papa Elf
Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Higganum native, Rick “Papa Elf” Johnson is returning to the library to offer another carving class. Please join us as we create a wooden 40 minute Santa ornament. This is a great beginner project as you learn knife safety, sharpening, stropping, layout and the basic cuts. See how the block of wood transforms before your eyes into a simple piece of folk art ornament for your tree.
Given that we are working with extremely sharp knives, classes are very limited and adults only please.
