Join local artist Tommy 'Salami' O'Malley (in collaboration with the Girdwood Arts Institute) for a beginners workshop on ice carving. Participants will learn about properties of ice, carving techniques, and tool safety.  Each participant will receive step-by-step instructions to carve one 10’’ x 10’’ block of ice and all necessary tools. No prior experience is necessary; come and learn a new hobby or skill!
Space is limited; please register ahead of time to secure a spot. Participants will need to bring a set of warm waterproof gloves and appropriate clothing for standing outside for approximately 2 hours as they carve (workshop takes place completely outside).

What to bring to stay warm and dry!

• Dress for winter! Wear layers, winter boots and a winter hat.

• Insulated rubber gloves under winter gloves or mittens, or even plastic bags worn over mittens, will help to keep you dry and warm.

• Extra gloves and mittens (to replace wet ones)

• Hand warmers

• Sunglasses or protective goggles

• Drinking water, snack, and anything else you may need to stay warm
