Bird Carving with Wendell Gilley Museum July 21st, August 4th & 18th, 9am-12pm, 1pm-4pm at Schoodic Institute (Winter Harbor, ME). See how it’s done! Join us at Schoodic Institute with special guest carver Jim Vekasi from the Wendell Gilley Museum for hands-on bird carving demonstrations outside the Welcome Center at Rockefeller Hall (9am – 12noon, and 1pm – 4pm). This demonstration will be offered on July 21st and August 4th and 18th. Visit with Jim and pick up a carving knife yourself – there is no charge to give it a try! Then visit the display of bird carvings from the Wendell Gilley Museum inside the Welcome Center. Jim is a longtime carver with the Gilley, as well as being a retired Acadia National Park employee who was deeply involved during the establishment of Schoodic Institute 25 years ago.
