About Us and When We Meet


We believe in "Teaching, sharing and promoting the art of
wood carving" so please come visit us at the shop and
especially at our annual show where you will witness
some truly awesome pieces of art.

A LITTLE HISTORY

In 1973, Livermore, CA. was the home of a small gathering of
carvers. Group functions were held in "The Barn" at that time.
In 1977 things had changed and finances became a factor. The
growing membership moved to Pleasanton, CA. We were the
fifth group to join the now thriving California Carvers Guild.



Now we gather every Tuesday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and
every Thursday at 6:30 pm -8:30 pm at the Pleasaton Senior
Center,5353 Sunol blvd.

We also meet every Thursday from 6:00 pm- 9:00 pm at
Livermore Community Center 4444 E. Ave. for the
camaraderie of carving and sharing information as well as tips,
patterns and much more.  

Our business meetings are held on the second Saturday of
each month at the Pleasanton Senior Center, 5353 Sunol Blvd.
From 9:00 am to 10:00 am is the drop in carving.
From 10:00 am to 12:00 pm is the business meeting.

Often before the business meeting we share in mini
workshops, we work on our own projects and share ideas. We
also watch videos and demonstrations or listen to guest
speakers. All of which provides the opportunity to learn
exciting new things from each other.

Everyone is welcome to visit this drop-in group, whether
a current woodcarver, pyrographer, wanna be woodcarver or
just plain curious. We believe woodcarving to be a fun,
rewarding hobby and look forward to sharing it with you.

Thank You~
