Come and learn the basics of wood carving! We will work with green wood (wood that is fresh, soft and easy to carve). Wood and a selection of tools will be provided so you'll have the opportunity to experiment. In our day together, you’ll have time to complete a project, so you’ll go home with a spoon that is carved and ready to dry. Here is what we will cover:

• Introduction and theory to better understand wood fibers and properties

• Description of some tools and techniques, and a demonstration of how to make a spoon with hand tools

• Hands-on carving all together

• Lunchbreak (please bring a bagged lunch and full water bottle)

• Sharpening basics
