Join the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center every Thursday from 11-3 p.m. for "Folk Art Thursdays."
"Folk Art Thursdays" are informal gatherings of local folk artists who set up shop to demonstrate their skills at the center.
"Folk Art Thursdays" was born from just two dedicated volunteers who have been carving at the center since 1997. This has grown to include two new apprentice woodcarvers, a leather carver, and many others.
"Folk Art Thursdays" include the work of the center's volunteers. Dick Scherzinger who has been carving wood for 13 years uses animal themes including birds and wild game. Jim Proffit, who has been carving for 15 years, teaches classes through Community Education in Hood River.
In addition to woodcarvers, the center offers leather carving and rope making demonstrations by Leon Smith, also a volunteer at the center.
"What a wonderful way to showcase our talented volunteers and inspire others to continue folk art traditions," said Mike Perry, executive director at the center. "I look forward to the time I spend with them learning these folk art techniques. Everyone should experience this!"
