Unleash Your Creativity with Soapstone Carving at The Forks!

Discover the Art of Soapstone Carving! Join us for a one-of-a-kind creative experience with talented carver Fredrick Spence. This hands-on workshop will guide you through the fascinating world of soapstone carving, offering both inspiration and practical skills. Fredrick will begin by sharing his personal journey into this traditional art form, giving insight into the meaning and process behind his work. With his step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn essential carving techniques and create your very own unique sculpture. No experience is necessary—this workshop is designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned creators. Find us in the North Atrium (The location where the Pancake House used to be situated).

By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave with not only a finished soapstone piece but also the pride and joy of having crafted something with your own hands. More than just an art class, this is an opportunity to slow down, connect with your creativity, and enjoy a supportive, inspiring environment.
