"4 Day Festival of Woodcarving"
GMWC 52nd August Show and Sale
Saturday, August 23, 2025
Birds of Vermont Museum - Huntington, VT
| After the success last year of our Annual Show and 3 day Carving Seminar at the Birds of Vermont Museum creating a sort of "4 day celebration of WoodCarving", we returned this year for our 52nd. Once again, the weather cooperated as we set up 6 canopys outside the Museum for the 12 members that attended. As we were setting up, people already started to arrive. Throughout the morning we had a good number of visitors coming to visit the Museum and see the Show, and being able to talk with us on how carving are made and the variety of carving styles. As a plus, we also picked up two new members we hope to see at our CarveIn this fall. With such a nice day, many chose to see the Show in the morning so after noon attendance started to drop off. Once again a good Annual Show, thank you, Birds of Vermont and to all our members that set up, and shared table space and tents to those needing them to make our 52nd Show a success once again. If you have any ideas for next year's Show, bring them to our Annual Meeting in October. |  |

The Green Mountain Wood Carvers was organized about 65+ years ago by Collise Brown from Waterville Vermont to bring together people interested in the art of wood carving. At present, we have about 75 members from Vermont as well as other states across New England.
Members of the club meet the second Saturday of each month for a "Carve-In". The Carve-Ins' are held at members houses and shops across the state, and provide an opportunity for members to gather, work on a projects and share ideas. In addition to our monthly Carve-Ins, each August, the Club plans a week long series of events including a carving class, and our Annual August Show and Sale held in Waterbury Vermont.
You don't need to be an accomplished carver to join the GMWC, our members range from first time carvers to professional carvers. Members work in all aspects of wood carving including relief, chip, caricatures, birds and wild fowl. Are members are always willing to help new carvers get started.
