Learn how to carve a Dala horse using traditional Nordic carving techniques. Learn about grain direction, traditional knife holds while carving this classic animal!  This class is great for the beginner or the person wanting to learn Sloyd style carving. Please note: we will not be painting these horses.

Please wear pants and close-toed shoes, as we are going to make some wood chips!

This course will be held over zoom. It is limited to 10 people in order to offer more interaction with peers and instructor. 

This course has 3 free seats for the BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) community to take this course at cost for the materials fee of $20.  Tools will be provided during class, but if you'd like to  purchase your own tools it's $38. Fireweed  believes in wealth redistribution while our nation has still not offered proper reparations to marginalized communities.  

Course materials include: dala horse blank, rental of knife and gloves.
