In this class, students will learn to carve a spoon from greenwood, using traditional Scandinavian slöjd techniques. The instructor will lead students as they take a piece of wood from a raw billet to a ready to use cooking spoon. The instructor will model and assist participants as they axe out a spoon blank, rough out the general spoon profiles, and use finishing techniques to complete the final form. Students will learn how to safely and effectively use a greenwood saw, carving axe, slöjd knife, and hook knife. All levels of carving experience are welcome to experience this traditional art form and reconnect with your eating utensils.

Lunch will be provided.

Materials: All materials and tools will be provided to the students. Students will get to keep the utensils carved during class.
