Description

Discover the relaxing and rewarding art of hand-carving your own wooden spoon in this beginner-friendly workshop. In this class, participants will learn traditional spoon-carving techniques using simple hand tools to transform a small block of wood into a functional and beautiful kitchen utensil.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire process — from choosing the grain direction and sketching your design, to rough shaping, hollowing the bowl, refining the handle, and finishing the surface for food-safe use. Along the way, you’ll learn safe knife and gouge handling and tips that make carving smoother and more enjoyable.

No prior carving experience is needed. This class focuses on creativity, patience, and the satisfaction of making something entirely by hand. Each participant will leave with a completed spoon (or close to it), the knowledge to continue carving at home, and an appreciation for the craftsmanship behind handmade wooden utensils.

Suitable for ages 16+

$150 includes all materials, tools, and instruction to make a practice spreader and one spoon.
