Gnome Turning Workshop
Spin Up a Bit of Holiday Magic at the Lathe!
Long before factory ornaments lined store shelves, festive folk in Europe were carving and turning small wooden figures to guard their homes and bring a bit of whimsy to the winter season. Our Gnome & Gronk workshop brings that tradition to life — one spin of the lathe at a time.
Join us in our cozy, sawdust-swirled workshop to learn the basics of woodturning while crafting your very own wooden gnome (or “gronk,” if you like yours a little more mischievous). Whether you’re drawn to folklore, want to try something new, or just love a hands-on creative project, this workshop is a one-of-a-kind experience.
