Totem Pole Sculpture Workshops by Katie Netley
Katie offers two-day totem pole sculpture workshops for children and adults, bringing creativity and collaboration to schools, groups, and clubs. She can travel to your location, making it convenient for your group to create something unique together. Each workshop accommodates between 6 and 20 participants.
