The next meeting of the Kishwaukee Valley Art League will feature a demonstration of carving waterfowl decoys.

The speaker for the evening will be expert woodcarver Bill Thumm, who has been handcrafting and painting waterfowl decoys for more than 30 years. Thumm is considered to be one of the premiere carvers in the Midwest, and crafts more than 20 different species of ducks and geese.

The league meeting will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of DeKalb, on the corner of North Fourth and Locust streets in DeKalb, at 7 p.m. Thursday. The meeting is open to all; there is no membership requirement or admission to attend. Refreshments are served after the demonstration.
