Caygeon Carvers
Who We Are
The Caygeon Carvers began in the Spring of 1987 with a few interested carvers and presently has approximately 30 male and female members of all skill and age levels.
When We Meet
The club meets every Tuesday evening (7:00 to 9:00 pm) from September to June.
Where We Meet
The club meets in the Henderson House, which is located in the Kawartha Settlers Village in Bobcaygeon.
Membership
Club membership is open to anyone having an interest in carving wood. Although bird carving is predominant we have a cross-section of abilities and interests, which are freely shared and encouraged among the membership. Each year, members pay a $20.00 membership fee to Settlers Village to help maintain the building and pay a $2.00 fee for each meeting attended with the funds being used for books and other materials for the benefit of the members.
Local Competitions and Shows
In September of each year, the Buckhorn Carvers and Bobcaygeon Carving Club host a show and competition in conjunction with the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair. The competition is open to carvers in the beginner, novice, intermediate and advanced levels in a variety of different categories. Monetary prizes and ribbons are awarded. Visitors delight in watching demonstration carving and talking to carvers about their hobby and creations. Carvings are offered for sale and carving suppliers are available to sell materials, tools, books and patterns. Visit Kawartha Carving Competition for more details.
