• This one day class can be rather arduous for many beginning carvers, so it includes a one hour break. 
• Wearing a cut resistant glove is highly recommended, feel free to bring your own or the instructor will have some.
• Students are should wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to participate, and sturdy footwear (e.g. tennis shoes or boots) is recommended.
