There’s something deeply satisfying about picking up a stick from the woods and shaping it into something both beautiful and useful. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll transform sticks gathered from the local forest into butter knives, coat hangers, simple toys, and other functional or whimsical objects. Along the way, you’ll discover how to recognize the right piece of wood for each project and let the natural shape of the branch guide your design.

Together, we’ll cover knife safety, basic carving and knife-handling skills, hand saw use, and simple drilling techniques, along with plenty of practical tricks and shortcuts that make stick work approachable and rewarding.
