Stop by Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, when you will find a monitor is on duty, or any time a member is working on a project. The monitor on duty will be happy to give you a tour of the studio and help you sign up for a class, or sign-up online. Check our window display outside the studio. It changes monthly.

Come by the Artisan Center Lapidary Room Saturday morning, meet some wood carvers and see their projects. Maybe start on a song bird like the one pictured with Lenora Brown. If you think you might be interested in wood carving, we can help you get started with basswood, tools, a project plan and basic instruction. If you are already a wood carver, bring your tools, a project and join the conversation.
