Urban Harvest: Traditional Spoon Carving

Learn the craft of wooden spoon carving from wood craftsman Tony Perelli, who demonstrates the carving process from log to spoon blank. Each participant learns about carving safety, knife techniques and spoon design as they make a cooking tool from a prepared blank to take home. Discussions include perspectives on nature as well as historical spoons from Alaska. Materials included, but participants are welcome to bring their own tools if they like. For ages 16 years and older. $65, 10% discount for museum members. Space is limited; advance registration required.
