October 18, 2025 CarveIn & Annual Meeting
Host: Birds of Vermont Museum - Huntington, VT
The 2025 Annual Meeting and October Carve-In was held at the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington on Saturday October 18, 2025. Fall foliage has turned to stick-season in most of Vermont but seems to be holding in Huntington. President Matthew Strong called the meeting to order at 12:20 pm. Although we had 8 members attend the morning carve-in, only 7 members of the club attended the Business Meeting. We even had a few folks wander through from the museum to see the workshop. This included one lady who had done Ivory soap carving years ago, reminiscing about it fondly. Full Minutes of the Meeting are included in the November/December Issue of News and Notes, the GMWC BiMonthly Newsletter. |

Host: Matthew Strong - Stowe, VT
GMWC President Matt Strong has volunteered to host our November CarveIn
at his Basement Studio in Stowe, this year on November, 8th, a week before
Deer Season starts so no excuses not to attend… This is a good time
to bring along all the Holiday carvings you are working on, as well as some
unfinished projects. As always, we usually begin carving at 10:00, bring
a project, lunch and a chair.
Directions:
From Stowe Village, turn onto the Mountain Rd VT Rte 108, Turn right on
Weeks Hill Rd about .5 miles from the 100/108 Junction. Go up Weeks Hill
Rd about 1.6 miles and stay left past Percy Rd, Matt's house is on the right
as you go uphill, by the large wooden "Strong" sign, which he
promises to repaint someday.
December 2025 CarveIn:
Once again, we will not be scheduling a December CaveIn with all that is going on during the holiday season. A good time to get to work on all your Holiday carving projects, we hope to see you again at our January 2026 CarveIn.
The Green Mountain Wood Carvers was organized about 65+ years ago by Collise Brown from Waterville Vermont to bring together people interested in the art of wood carving. At present, we have about 75 members from Vermont as well as other states across New England.
Members of the club meet the second Saturday of each month for a "Carve-In". The Carve-Ins' are held at members houses and shops across the state, and provide an opportunity for members to gather, work on a projects and share ideas. In addition to our monthly Carve-Ins, each August, the Club plans a week long series of events including a carving class, and our Annual August Show and Sale held in Waterbury Vermont.
You don't need to be an accomplished carver to join the GMWC, our members range from first time carvers to professional carvers. Members work in all aspects of wood carving including relief, chip, caricatures, birds and wild fowl. Are members are always willing to help new carvers get started.
