Benefits for You
You will learn how to carve and create your own piece of art to take home. You will use your hands and arms to shape the material, which helps build strength and control while working on your fine motor-skills. You’ll practice thinking in 3D as you plan and make your design. Working with natural materials can feel calm and relaxing. You will also be part of a group where you can share ideas, get help, and learn from each other.
