  • Olives Porch 27 Peachtree Street Murphy, NC 28906 USA (map)

Learn how to carve a small Dala Horse from the Scandinavian tradition originating from the Dalarna Province of Sweden. These horses were so popular at one point that they were used as a form of currency! Learn how to carve the horse form, embellish with basic chip carving and finish with milk paint. We will be covering basic figure carving techniques, simple chip carving techniques, and milk paint application and finish. Students should expect to leave with at least one finished project, with room to make multiple with time permitting.
