Open, Group, and Mentoring

Carving

Meetings are held every Thursday from 1:00-3:00 PM at the Woodcraft store for open, group carving. This weekly carving event is open to all. Carvers work on projects of their choosing and with so much talent in the room it is a good place to ask advice.

Special Workshops and Events

Working with Woodcraft, JRWC brings in nationally recognized woodcarvers to provide special programs and workshops to club members and other carvers in the area. JRWC also supports local events such as the State Fair and Field Day of the Past. Join us in these special events!

First Thursday Club Business

Meetings and Projects

Club business meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 6:00 PM with a mini carving project to follow. We need volunteers to lead carving projects each month. Please let us know if you have a project you would like to share with the group. Upcoming projects and meetings will be announced in the monthly newsletter. Note: Safety gloves and thumb guards are required to participate in club workshops.

Inclement Weather Policy

If Henrico County schools are closed, there will be no James River Woodcarvers activities held. Thursday carving will resume the following week, weather permitting. If a Thursday night meeting is canceled, any scheduled business will be discussed at the next month's meeting and any planned projects will be rescheduled. The safety and well being of our club members comes first and those that survive bad weather live to carve another day.
