\nAt Unit 24, the Abingdon Community Shop, woodcarvers are in residence from October 29 to November 2. One member described the need of patience, recounting how he sets a modest goal for each Thursday when the group meet at John Mason School: to carve out a small segment of a sculpture or focus solely on sanding down one intricate area. ‘It\u2019s therapeutic,’ he said. ‘It less about finishing and more about engaging with each step.’
\n
\nThis exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and members are showcasing some of their pieces. Projects are underway in the shop, allowing visitors to watch the process.
\n
\nMembers are always happy to chat and tell you more. They are on the look out for new members, and have as many women as men. <\/p>\n
