Take a Gnome Home – Handcrafted Woodturning Experience

Overview

✨ Step into the magic of Take a Gnome Home!

Here’s what you’ll enjoy:

• 🧙‍♂️ See the magic in action — watch a live woodturning demo as whimsical gnomes (we call them Whonks) come to life on the lathe.
• 🎨 Bring your gnome to life — decorate and design a pre-turned gnome with paints and details to give it its own personality (yes, you’ll even name your gnome before taking it home!).
• 🧺 Take home a keepsake — leave with a one-of-a-kind creation, perfect for gifting or displaying.
• 👩‍🎨 Beginner-friendly — no woodworking experience needed. You’ll watch the demo, not use tools.
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Great with friends — small, cozy group sessions designed for connection, laughter, and fun.
