Carving with the Pros

Join us and a professional 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 us a sample of the techniques and tools they use to create some of the stunning artwork that has enchanted millions of visitors at the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. Your design will feature one of our amazing animals that live at the Zoo! Can’t draw? Don’t worry, the pumpkin comes prepared with the carving design pre-drawn for you! Then end the class exploring the Zoo’s enchanting Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular trail. Program registration includes admission to the class, your pumpkin (with artwork pre-applied), carving tool kits customized by the professional carvers, and an LED Lamp/Bulb to illuminate your “gourd-eous” artwork. Also includes light refreshments and front-of-line VIP access to the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular! While we work to finalize the artwork for this year’s class, view some pictures of past carving classes HERE! Any Questions? Call us at (401) 785-3510 x 358 or email programs@rwpzoo.org
