Enchanted Woodworking: Wand Carving Workshop

Sunday June 28th, 2026
2pm to ~7:30pm
Bellingham, WA

Join us for a day of whimsical woodworking in this half-day course designed for adults co-led by Jazmen Yoder (Northwest Natura) Mike B. (The Dry Troll / Troll Mountain Forge).

What to Expect

• Handcraft your own unique wand from start to finish

• Learn the lore of provided wand woods (hawthorn, rose, ironwood, holly, alder, willow + many more); their magical properties and symbolism and choose one for your wand base.

• Learn carving techniques, detail work, and knife safety

• Enchant your wand (optional) by adding colorful dyes, carving sigils, embedding crystals, shells, stones, beads, and/or wrapping in metal wire (numerous colors to choose from)

• Learn some symbolism of each “enchantment” object and color provided.

Wand woods are ethically sourced from nature by the instructors. Enchantments provided include dozens of stones and beads, several feet of variously colored and sized metal wire, shells, feathers, ~ a dozen colors of wood dye + all the accessories and materials required to add these objects to your wand. “Enchanting” is optional (but very fun).

This course is primarily a carving workshop with the opportunity to build community and socialize with folks who share your interests.

What to bring:

• Wear something comfortable

• Snacks/lunch and water

• Your own knife, knife set, and/or carving tools (optional. Knives will be provided)

• Notebook and pen (optional)

• Personal decor for your wand (optional)

  • Other decor could be things such as stones you’ve found, cordage you’ve made, wire you’ve been meaning to use, crystals you have lying around, glitter etc...
