The Wilson
Woodcarvers aim to teach and learn all aspects of the art of woodcarving.
To educate the broader Wilson and Eastern Carolina community about woodcarving.
To perform community services through woodcarving and enjoy the fellowship
of those interested in the art.
The club
meets every Tuesday evening at 7:00PM. We meet in the third floor studio of the Arts
Council of Wilson, located at 124 Nash Street. Enter
the building and take the elevator to '3R', our studio is directly
