Adult Pumpkin-Carving
An evening pumpkin-carving workshop for adults to create unique designs ready to show off during the Halloween season or just a chance to particpate in an age old tradition.
Course overview:
This pumpkin-carving session is for adults only as you will learn to carve more sophiscated designs onto your own pumpkin. It can then be used as a traditional Jack O' Latern at home or as a decorative piece(s) in parties. Participants are encouraged to bring their own pumpkins as part of the fun is in the choosing of your own pumpkin!
Because pumpkins come in various shapes and sizes, it is important to have a general idea of what kind of design you want your pumpkin to be. For example, Medium to large sized pumpkins are ideal for most stencil designs, whereas small pumpkins tend to be better for carving simple, traditional faces. You can carve lots of small pumpkins to be scattered about (this is ideal for parties or general Halloween decoration).
Some tips for carrying your pumpkin: Do not carry by the stem, it may break. If it does or find the stem is already missing upon purchase, do not worry, it can still be used for carving. Also, avoid bruising it during transport or storage as this will shorten their life-span.
If you find you cannot for some reason, we can provide a pumpkin for you (please note this must be requested upon booking and there will be an extra charge of £4 per pumpkin).
