AWCA is home to the art of three-dimensional wildlife carving. It pays homage to this North American art form by offering a range of classes, workshops, shows and competitions. AWCA is the place to be if you want to learn how to carve wildlife creatures, develop your skill at carving wildlife, or simply want to see these beautiful art pieces.
AWCA offers a full range of classes for those who want to learn how to carve and for those who want to develop their skills and ability to create a more detailed or intricate carving. These classes generally run through the fall and winter months.
AWCA Workshops are shorter in duration and are lead by accomplished carvers. As they are hands-on sessions, students grow their ability by developing specific skill sets. The advanced workshop series are lead by world class carvers such as Pat Godin, Jeff Krete and Jean Minaudier who share their skill and incite by leading week-long learning sessions.
“Images of Nature” is an annual juried show and competition that features three-dimensional wildlife art pieces created by carvers of all ages and skill sets. It is a celebration of respect for the wildlife around us. This show and competition welcomes carvers, wherever they may live.
