Event Description

Cottonwood Bark Carving

We have a selection of Connecticut-sourced cottonwood bark available for carving. While the Connecticut bark is thinner than northern or midwestern varieties, it remains a fantastic medium for artistic expression. This bark is perfect for creating fairy houses, faces, and other nature-inspired carvings. Many times, the bark is left in its natural state to accentuate its beauty or complement the carving itself.
There is no cost for the bark blanks, as they are mill cut-offs generously donated to the group.

Bellamy Eagle (Multi-Class Project)

Project Overview: We’re bringing back the popular Bellamy Eagle project, a traditional design that has graced New England buildings for centuries. This carving, often associated with John Bellamy, will be a multi-class project that spans a couple of months. It’s an excellent opportunity to carve a historic piece that captures the spirit of colonial America.
Cost: The cost of the blank will range from $5 to $10, depending on the final price of the wood.

Come prepared to discuss these projects and get started on some exciting carving! We look forward to seeing you there.
