This class will introduce participants to basic wood carving skills by working with a local medium - green birch. The end product for each participant will be 1 or possibly 2 hand carved spoons or similar kitchen tools such as a spurtle or spatula. The final products will be finished with a food-safe oil such as tung oil or walnut oil.
All materials and tools, including green wood, will be supplied. Participants may choose in advance to purchase their own carving tool kit to keep.
