Have you ever wanted to carve something more than the traditional jack o'lantern? Something other than three triangles and a toothless smile?
In this class, students will learn pumpkin etching, a technique using sharp knives to create beautiful, detailed, glowing images. Students should come prepared with a drawing or sketch of their ideas, weather an image or message. Might be scary, might be friendly!
Your instructor will provide the following:
- One pumpkin per person
- All necessary tools (etching tools are yours to take home for next year's pumpkin!)
- Please wear clothing that can get messy or bring an apron
Students should bring the following:
- An apron, or wear clothing that can get dirty
- Since the class runs over the lunch hour, we recommend bringing lunch or snacks.
