Carve a Wooden Cheese Knife Workshop – TWW23803

Loading Classes

Dates: 3/12
Details: Sunday, 1 Session
Times: 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Carving fresh, found wood into useful objects is a fun, relaxing, satisfying hobby. In this class we will cover an overview of this “green” woodworking, including tools, materials, process, technique, and safety. There will be a demonstration of the early part of the process – turning a log into a rough carving blank with an axe. Then students will get their own knives and learn safe, effective knife grips. Finally, we’ll move onto carving wooden butter/cheese knives for you to take home. We’ll wrap up with a discussion on finishing touches and decoration possibilities to finish at home. Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to register if accompanied by a registered adult.

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Insufficient Enrollment: The New Art Center will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal: Up to 7 days before the first class, you may withdraw for a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per class. For any tuition payments paid by credit card your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund. Withdrawals from classes, workshops, and events under $40 are eligible for course credit only, less a $10 fee or the full tuition amount can be donated to the New Art Center. Donors will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes. Course credits are good for 1 year from the date of issue, after which time you will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.

Summer Camp Withdrawal: All withdrawals for our Summer Camp must be made by June 9 to receive a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per week. For any tuition payments paid by credit card, your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available according to need. Please apply here.
