Join us for a 3-hour introduction to the craft of greenwood spoon carving. You will finish the class with your own hand-carved serving spoon. For the first part of the class, we will study safety, knife grips, and traditional techniques for carving. For the rest of the class, you will apply what you have learned to transform a wooden blank provided into your completed spoon.

Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting full of wood chips and closed-toed shoes.

All tools and supplies are provided.
