Make Your Own Walking Stick Workshop

Craft your own unique walking stick in this fun 3-hour workshop! Participants should wear casual work clothing and bring an apron.

Imagine you are on the trail with a handcrafted walking stick in your hand.  A fellow hiker admires it and you are able to say, “Oh, I made it myself!” The three-hour Make Your Own Walking Stick workshop with Brad Koller is a fun, safe, and creative class in which hikers, geocachers, and other explorers craft a walking stick to their unique taste.  

 Participants begin by selecting one of several types of rough sticks available. Each species of tree offers unique and beautiful features. Tools and safety equipment are provided. It is strongly recommended that each participant wear casual work clothing, and provide their own work apron.

 After initial instructions are given, the instructor will monitor each person’s progress as they begin crafting. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and seek feedback throughout the workshop. For those who wish to work on their sticks further after the conclusion of the workshop, suggestions will be offered on further improvements to walking sticks.
