Wooden Spoon Carving Workshop

Join us for a unique hands-on woodworking workshop at Assembly!

Using simple hand tools and techniques, you’ll create a beautiful useful object: the wooden spoon. A handcarved cooking spoon can make a wonderful gift or provide the perfect rustic charm to your own kitchen.

You'll start with a wooden spoon blank and slowly carve out the long handle and custom shaped bowl. You'll learn how to safely use the whittling tools, including gouge and straight knives, and leave with tips on finishing your spoon through sanding and oiling.  

All materials and tools will be provided for this beginner friendly class.

Note: If a date is sold out, join the waitlist to be contacted when a spot opens up.
