  • Description

Description

Come experience the timeless craft of carving and discover the joy of making something both simple and enduring.

There’s something deeply satisfying about shaping wood with your own two hands.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll start with a simple block of wood and transform it into a beautiful, functional wooden utensil using traditional hand tools. Under expert guidance, you’ll learn how to safely and confidently use an axe, carving knife, and scoop knife to shape, hollow, and refine your piece.

This class is perfect for anyone curious about traditional woodworking or wanting to slow down and experience the rhythm of working with hand tools. No prior experience is necessary — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Day 1 – learning tools and tool use (carve a butter knife)
Day 2-3 – carve a spoon from a piece of wood using an ax (limited), knife, and curved knife
Day 4 – finish techniques- oiling your spoon, painting, kohlrosing

By the end of class, you’ll leave with a hand-carved wooden spoon or spatula and the foundational skills to continue carving on your own.

Ages 12+

Our camps are designed to be both fun and educational, with experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing their skills and knowledge with young people.  We take great care to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child can feel valued and supported.
