Les Mains Guidées : Wood Carving | August 12

Join us for Vermilionville's newest monthly series where you will learn crafts from our master artisans. On the second Tuesday of every month, we will highlight a different craft from the old Acadian, Creole, and Native American ways of life. Topics will range from woodworking, to textiles, to foodways, and many things in between.
