IBEW 226 Building at 1620 NW Gage Blvd

Organized in 1979, we are an active club, comprised of approximately 30 members. 

Our Club meets on the second Saturday each month from 9am-3pm at the IBEW 226 Building at 1620 NW Gage Blvd in Topeka. We hope you’ll contact us to learn more about woodcarving or become a carver yourself.

Our mission is to provide education to our members and to increase public awareness of the various aspects of woodcarving and it’s importance in art history.

Our Goals: 

  • To bring together people who have a common interest in painting, carving and sculpting in wood. 
  • To share ideas and enthusiasm for the art of woodcarving.
  • To provide facilities for further development of a variety of carving and wood sculpting skills.
  • To promote appreciation and continue the art of wood sculpture in the community.
