Students will become familiar with spoon carving specific tools, safe carving techniques, and the fundamentals of working with green wood. If time allows, students may also be introduced to finishing techniques such as chipcarving, kolrosing, or painting with milk paint. Whether you are an experienced woodworker or just starting on your woodworking journey, there is a place in this workshop for you. Beware, the craft of spoon carving is addicting! Please Note: Although this course is open to all levels, it does require a basic amount of hand strength and stamina.
