Decoy Carving Workshop

w/ Joshua “Lokosh” Hinson

6 Spots Available. Price listed is per individual.

Learn how to design, carve and paint your own waterfowl decoys from reowned artist and decoy carver, Joshua “Lokosh” Hinson. The day will begin with an overview of the history and lineage of Core Sound decoys. Joshua will then take you through all steps of turning wood and cork into functional pieces of waterfowling heritage. You’ll be provided with all materials and tools needed to produce your own, huntable decoy by the end of the day. The tools are yours to keep and you’ll head home not only with a functional work of art, but the knowledge you’ll need to continue as a hobbyist or utilitarian decoy carver.
