Spoon Carving

You know there once was a time when, if you needed a spoon to eat or cook with, you just carved one yourself! This workshop will teach you all of the basics of this nearly-forgotten and very unique skill, and we’ll have a lot of fun doing it. We’ll start with blanks of cherry, dogwood, or walnut and go through all the steps of design, layout, and technique. Taught by a couple of the best (and craziest) spoon carvers we know, this workshop is guaranteed to be a big hit.
