Schedule

A fun and easy project for kids of all ages. Young children are welcome. Carving assistance will be available. An adult must be present with children under 10 years.

What to Bring to the Workshop

If you have the following, please bring small carving or craft tools, sandpaper and x-acto knives. Nail polish is used to decorate the gutterboats.

What We Will Supply

Balsa gutterboat blanks, instructions, and some limited paint colors.

What if I Can’t Make the Workshop

If you are unable to come to the workshop, you may also make one on your own and bring it. Contact Amanda to see if she has any extra blanks you can pick up and shape and paint on your own.

Make sure your boats have enough space to hold a small dot ID sticker.
