Introduction to Spoon Carving with Erik Vevang

  • Norway House 913 East Franklin Avenue Minneapolis United States (map)

Join us for a 3-hour introduction to the craft of greenwood spoon carving. You will finish the class with your own hand-carved serving spoon. For the first part of the class, we will study safety, knife grips, and traditional techniques for carving.  For the rest of the class, you will apply what you have learned to transform a spoon blank provided into your completed spoon.  

Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting full of wood chips and closed-toed shoes. 

All tools and supplies are provided.

$110 General Registration | $95 Members of Norway House | 12 participants maximum

Note: We need 48 hours’ notice in order to reschedule your tickets or to provide a refund if there is a cancellation. Thank you.
