Description:

Create a functional whistle keyring from a fresh piece of green wood in this hands-on whittling workshop. Using only a knife and hand drill, participants will learn the fundamentals of carving and basic knife safety while exploring traditional woodcraft techniques in a practical and supportive environment. Suitable for beginners, the workshop encourages a slower, more attentive approach to making, connecting participants with natural materials through simple hand tools and process-led craft. By the end of the session, participants will leave with their own carved whistle keyring and an introduction to the foundations of whittling.

Materials Provided: All materials provided.
