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
