Welcome to the 4th annual gathering of the Shuswap School of Woodcarving at the Sorrento Centre in Sorrento, BC. Please join us for a week of woodcarving, watercolour and fellowship with those with similar interests. The week kicks off with a 'welcoming barbeque' (included in the registration fee) and then on Thursday evening we will be having a banquet with a gift exchange. You don't have to be registered in a class to stay, so bring your spouse for a week of social activities and exploration of the Sorrento area. They are welcome to join in the evening activities.

Please do not bring your pets with you as Sorrento Centre has a  NO PET  policy. 

A supply list will be sent along with your registration confirmation.
Maps are available upon request from Sorrento Centre.

Carving supplies and tools will be available for sale on site, so if you do not already have the tools on the supply list, you will be able to purchase them there.

A Non-refundable deposit of $100.00 is required upon registration, with the balance due by September 1, 2009. There will be no refund after September 1, 2009.

Course fees are $375.00 (includes all taxes)

NOTE: A shop/supply fee is listed in each course description, payable to the course instructor the first day.
