Half Day Workshop with John Fraser

Create your very own bone carving in three hours or less using simple hand tools. No experience is required to make a unique carving that will surpass most souvenirs that you can buy at a craft market or shop. All you need to bring is your imagination: choose from a range of contemporary designs or create your own original design. You will have fun and learn a new skill whilst making something beautiful for yourself or someone close to you.
