Teacher: Charles Thompson

Learn the traditional art of green woodworking, using an axe and a knife to turn freshly harvested wood to into a spoon. You'll learn how to select good material, how to break that material down by hand using a carving axe, then how to shape and carve your spoon safely and decoratively, using a a Mora 106 knife and a hook knife. You'll make a one-of-a-kind spoon, beautifully carved using traditional hand tools. No woodworking experience required.

What to Bring: Bring a bag lunch, or you may visit nearby downtown Brattleboro to purchase lunch. Students are welcome to bring their own sharp carving tools; knives should be comparable to the Mora 106 and Mora 164.

Who should apply: No woodworking experience required! All applicants must identify as historically excluded or outsiders in the field of woodworking.
