Spoon Making
Saturday, January 6th in Swanville | 11am – 3pm
A fun and informative session around the fire carving spoons or bowls. Using coals from the fire we will hollow vessels, we’ll also cover blade tool safety, wood selection, and finishing. All are encouraged to bring their own knives and blanks; we will also provide materials and equipment for those who need them. Bring a pair of workable gloves that give some warmth and get excited to create something beautiful.
Dress for warmth and bring lunch and snacks.
We will be outside for the entirety of this workshop.
This event is for all ages and abilities. Please do not bring pets.
Ages 10 and under welcome if accompanied by an adult.
