(10.27) This class is for serious carvers, and the ticket price reflects that, but for those who want to up their game “Carving with the Masters” will provide a rare opportunity to learn from a master. The pumpkin comes with the carving design already drawn on the pumpkin, so you can focus on the mechanics and techniques of carving.
Join a master pumpkin carver for an all-inclusive carving experience. Learn directly from the artist as they walk you step by step of carving your very own intricate jack-o’-lantern! They will provide tools they use to create some of the stunning artwork that has enchanted millions of visitors at the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. This year’s design will feature one of our resident animals! Can’t draw? Don’t worry, the pumpkin comes prepared with the carving design pre-drawn for you!
