Description: Handmade Holiday Gift Series: Gnome Woodcarving
Location: Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park
Discover the joy of woodcarving!
Join Interpretive Ranger Kandace to transform a block of basswood into a forest gnome figurine. You’ll learn basic carving techniques, practice safe tool handling, and add your own creative finishing touches. This program will introduce you to a timeless craft, build confidence in using carving tools, and provide a nice keepsake or gift!
This program is recommended for adults ages 18 and up who are interested in learning beginner woodcarving skills and includes guided instruction, carving practice, and (optional) painting, if time allows. This program will last around 3 hours, and each participant will leave with a completed figurine.
All materials will be provided by the park, you must register to ensure we have enough supplies.

In the event of inclement weather, the program will be cancelled.
