Learn to hand carve and shape your own wooden spoon from start to finish! Open to any skill level, this class will cover basic safety and technique. We will be using locally sourced green wood. Traditional woodworking tools such as wedges, hand saws, carving gouges, drawknives, and spokeshaves will be used. The skills and techniques learned from spoon carving can lend themselves to larger sculptural pieces or furniture such as stools and chairs. For many people once you start carving, the hard part is putting the tools down!
Tools and Materials are provided.
Class will take place on August 22nd, and run from 9am - 4pm.
Taught by Bill Wallace
Bill Wallace has been a professional woodworker for over 50 years. He is currently teaching carving and woodturning at his home shop in Wake Forest, N.C. State Craft Center, Alamance Community College and local woodshop in the triangle area. He enjoys sharing his craft and has been demonstrating for years at the N.C. State Fair in the Village of Yesteryear and at Cedar Creek Gallery in Creedmoor during their Spring and Fall festivals.
