Workshops
Greenwood Spoon Carving Circle - October 19th, 11:30am to 1:30pm and November 9th
Free
​
Who we are:
Can the act of carving a wooden spoon with simple hand tools be an act of community building, social change, and resistance? We think it can. It's also fun as heck, as high or low an art form as you're looking for, and promises to still the mind like few activities can.
As just one branch on a growing tree of greenwood spoon carving clubs, guilds and circles, we're grateful for the model those before us have provided in inspiring us to take a stand by sitting down and carving together!
We invite you to join an inclusive and supportive community of folks interested in just hanging out and carving spoons together!
​
What to expect:
No previous experience is required. Everyone 16+ welcome. Whether you're a beginner or further along on your carving journey, you can expect to feel inspired by those around you and empowered by this slyly subversive and powerfully democratic craft.
Participants can expect to be supported in their explorations of a number of techniques and approaches; safe tool use, spoon layout and design, roughing out blanks, finish carving, and treating completed spoons.
What to bring:
-Carving tools such as straight and spoon knives, but don't worry if you don't have tools - we'll provide all the required tools.
​
-Your own lunch if you wish or tasty teas and snacks to share.
​
-Do you have a green (fresh) branch or limb from a tree you'd like to share? Please bring it along!
