Spoon Carving Workshop

About the workshop: The students will learn all the skills required to reproduce their own wooden spoons; this includes the correct usage of hand. Classes will begin with a discussion on types of wood, a guide for the tools we’ll be using during class, and a general overview about various wooden carving techniques. After the students have the basic understanding required to carve a spoon, they will be led by Alma, the instructor, in using a spoon gouge to make the bowl of the spoon. This will be followed by designing the remaining elements of their spoon, which includes the handle and the top. When the design is completed, they’ll finalise the project using sandpaper and oils. At the end of the class students will have a one of a kind hand-made object that will last a lifetime. No previous experience is necessary for this class, just a desire to carve a spoon.
