Valentine’s, but Make It Meaningful Why carving together beats roses every time

Valentine’s Day has a funny way of sneaking up on us.

Suddenly the world fills with roses, rushed restaurant bookings, and the quiet pressure to do something special.

But what if “special” didn’t mean expensive, over-the-top, or fleeting?

What if it meant time. Presence. And doing something with your hands that actually lasts.

At JAK’sArt, my carving workshops offer a very different way to mark Valentine’s—one rooted in connection, creativity, and shared experience rather than stuff.

It’s not really about Valentine’s… it’s about connection

Yes, I’ve created special Valentine’s workshops this year.

Yes, they’re perfect for couples.

But at their heart, these sessions are about something deeper: carving alongside someone you care about.

That might be:

• A romantic partner

• A close friend

• A parent and adult child

• Or simply someone you’d like to spend proper, uninterrupted time with

Side-by-side, hands dusty, concentration gently shared.

Talking when you want to. Quiet when you don’t.

There’s something incredibly grounding about that kind of togetherness.

If this feels like your kind of Valentine’s — slower, more meaningful, and rooted in shared experience — you’re warmly invited to join me.

My Valentine’s carving workshops are designed for beginners and focus on connection, creativity, and making something that lasts.

You can find current availability and details on private and small-group workshops via my website. Come with someone you love — or someone you simply enjoy being alongside.
