Join us for a fun-filled evening of spoon carving! Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, this workshop is for anyone and everyone wanting to hang out with friends or neighbors while practicing a hobby that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
Suitable for all skill levels — all you need to bring is your attention and some closed-toe shoes. Shop aprons, safety gloves and protective tape will be provided.
Everyone will have their own tools, choice of blank and two(ish) hours to work on their spoon. If it’s not done by the end and you need more time, bring it back to one of our regular Carving Club sessions until it’s finished.
Bring your friends and/or come ready to make new ones. These workshops are at least as social as they are educational.
Students (with ID) please use discount code STUDYHALL for $10 off admission!
Everyone will get to choose a spoon blank from a variety of different shapes, woods and sizes. We encourage beginners to start with a smaller and softer blank, but it’s your call.
We’ll provide a brief safety and technique tutorial, as well as some helpful tips like how to determine which way is carving “with the grain” and how to more reliably get the shapes and outcomes you’re wanting
Our primary tool for the evening will be the classic Sloyd whittling knife, as well as spoon gouges and hook knives to hollow out the spoony part. We’ll use clamps and vices where appropriate.
A real, hardwood, possibly useful spoon-shaped treasure.
If you need more time to work on it until it’s as finished as you want it to be, we have Carving Club on Wednesdays and Fridays where you can bring it in for no charge until it’s done.
Choose from the available dates below. All workshops will go from 6-8pm.
Curious Goose Community Workshop is located at 85B Portland St. (2.5 blocks up from Alderney Landing, next to Scotia Bank.)
