Award-winning Maine bird carver Joshua Brewer leads this special 5-week workshop at the Gilley. You will learn to carve and paint a bufflehead decoy, with hands-on training. All materials provided but you are welcome to bring your own tools as well. Bring a lunch. Class meets from 10am to 4pm on 5 consecutive Thursdays.

Josh is a master carver who makes a living doing what he loves, carving birds out of cedar. Collectors love it too – the Little Deer Isle artist’s work is in high demand and he mostly works on commission. We are thrilled to have him teaching a class at the Gilley.
