A spoon carving workshop for all stages of curious or aspiring spoon carvers. Led by Full Moon Farm's Annie Sanassian.
Come spend a morning by a cosy fire using hand tools to carve spoons. Learn how to safely carve with a knife and hook knife, learn the basics of processing green wood, and carve your very own spoon. If you happen to have your own hand-tools; a fixed blade knife, hook knife, froe or saw please feel free to bring them along.
My goal is to inspire and create a spoon-tastic day with others.
Please bring your own snacks
