The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
  Bird Carving 101
with
Roger Jenks


BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster presents Bird Carving 101 
with Roger Jenks Mondays, July 6th - August 31st 9:30am-1pm.

An active community volunteer, gardener and 
naturalist, Roger Jenks began woodcarving as a 
casual hobby in 1975, shaping caricature and 
animal figures, learning how to “whittle” from an 
instruction book he picked up at a used book 
sale. Over the years he honed his observation 
skills and acquired more specialized hand and 
power tools.  An avid birder, he eventually 
became most interested in carving realistic song 
birds and shore birds.  In 1994, he began 
teaching general woodcarving in his home studio 
but most of his students were primarily 
interested in carving realistic birds. A few 
years after he retired to South Yarmouth and 
joined the Cape Cod Bird Club, he was asked if he 
would continue his teaching skills in bird 
carving and he again began to share his knowledge in his home studio.

Join Roger in the scenic Marshview Room at the 
Museum on Mondays in July and August 9:30am-1pm 
for this rare opportunity to observe how a simple 
block of wood transforms into a beautiful bird! 
Ask questions and enjoy the Eldridge Arnold carving workshop exhibit!

Free with Museum Admission
