Old World Spoon Carving Workshop
Discover the timeless art of spoon carving in this hands-on workshop where tradition meets craftsmanship. Using simple, quiet hand tools, you'll learn to create your own wooden eating spoon or ladle. The course covers essential skills such as tool introduction, sharpening techniques, material selection, safe carving methods, and the principles of design and engineering. As you carve, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for nature, recognizing that spoons quite literally "grow on trees." Embrace this mindful practice, connect with natural materials, and leave with both a handmade treasure and a newfound respect for the trees that shape our world. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned woodworker, this workshop invites you to slow down, work with your hands, and explore the beauty of Old World craftsmanship.
