Spoon Carving w. Scott Hill

Spoon Carving w. Scott Hill
August 31, Saturday
10am – 4pm
$50

Carving is practical, useful, creative, fun, meditative, and artistic! Learn to carve a simple spoon that you can use, admire and proudly display. For beginners! If you have never carved a spoon before, you will learn how to create the basic rough shape with a hatchet, then refine and finish with a knife. We will split wood, make a billet, draw a pattern on the billet, use delicate hatchet strokes and carefully and safely use knives to create your first fabulous spoon! Tree to table!

We’ll examine different spoons and their aspects and characteristics. We’ll talk about what makes a good spoon. We’ll look at other carved folk art objects for inspiration and whittle away the summer day.

Materials: Bring your own tools and at least 1 blank to work on. We recommend purchasing this beginner kit and bring it to the workshop: https://beavercrafttools.com/products/s16-whittling-wood-knives-kit
