During this hands-on class, you will be making two spoons. Get started with the basic skills and safety practices while carving a simple and useful kitchen spoon. Continue to hone your skills as you carve a more decorative "love spoon" -- something often given as a gift. Learn about wood selection, preparing blanks, basic carving techniques, and traditional oil finishing. These skills will help you become prepared for future wood carving projects that you can use in another class or at home.

If you’re registering at the last minute and don’t have time to order online, or if you prefer not to shop through Amazon, Woodcraft of Seattle in Georgetown is another option. They carry all of the required tools, and we recommend checking their current inventory before visiting.
We will also have a few extra tools available in class for students who forget something or don’t have exactly what is needed. If purchasing the tools would prevent you from taking the class, please reach out to us—we may be able to provide tools for you to use during class.
