2018 World Wood Day International Woodcarving Show will take place from March 19-25. The focus of this year will be each artist's interpretation of the theme “Life”. We encourage every participant to use native creativity to express their own understanding on a wood slab collaboratively joined by 3-5 wood carvers. IWCS is proud to present a series of woodcarving activities including wood slab sculpting collaboration, public presentations, sharing sessions and on-site exhibition at Angkor Wat, Cambodia. We expect to welcome 120 participants from 75 countries and regions to this program. Please join us for a very special week exploring diverse variety of woodcarving artistry and intercultural exchange.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania, China, Turkey, Nepal, and United States respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
