Indiana Woodcarvers Summer Camp
1st Indiana Woodcarvers Summer Camp

All classes are free with the purchase of project wood.  Instructors will sell rough-outs and blanks for their
projects at reasonable prices and volunteer their skills and time to teach.  The instructors travel a long distance
at their own expense to share their knowledge with you. Tip jars will be placed on each instructor's table
by the
event organizer
.  Please show your appreciation and encourage them to come back next year by tipping as
generously as you can!  The fine print says that everything is subject to change, but only when necessary.

VENDORS

If you would like to be an instructor at this event anywhere from 4 hours up to the whole 4 days, please
call Marcia at
574-204-2856. Thank you!  Note that the building is FULL. Any instructors added now must be
willing to be located outside the building under pop-up canopies.  We have plenty of space outdoors and  
picnic table seating available free. Please bring your own canopy.  You may bring your own tables &
chairs if you do not want to use picnic tables. Instructors do not have to pay the registration fee, but must
pay for campsites.

Instructors provide the project rough-outs or blanks at their tables.  Carvers pay a reasonable fee for the
wood. Instructors may sell their personal carvings, kits and special tools at their tables.  Instructors
volunteer their time to teach and are not compensated for expenses.   In other words - they do it free to
help promote the art of woodcarving!  We wish to sincerely thank all the volunteers!
