I am very proud to be one of roughly 40 guest woodcarvers at valley road. We rotate in and out through the season, and some come a mighty long way to participate. Everyone is different depending on when they're available and can schedule around the other things in life that happen regularly. That shows you how much we all love doing it!
I usually average 20 to 30 days per year carving, in addition to a full time career in NW Arkansas, and am the resident mantel carver. Pam Gresham is the full time master craftsman at the shop, and she's responsible for the oversight and administration of the guest carver program.
