Come learn to carve a teaspoon out of cherry! This class is for anyone who has taken a class with Lee Spoons before, and/or knows a little bit about spoon carving and would like to know more and improve their skills. We will work on a new form, the teaspoon, and a new wood species, black cherry. We will dive further into the use of the sloyd (straight) knife and the hook knife, talk about how to get a smooth bowl finish, how to make a smaller spoon, tips on making a strong, elegant rim, explore wood grain, and more. Students will leave the class with their own cherry teaspoon. This is a great class for people who have already done some wood carving and want to dive back in!
WOODWORKING TOOL SHARPENING CLASS Saturday, May 11 from 12:30-3:30 pm
Where: Twiggs Gallery, Boscawen, NH Sign up here at gallery website!
Cost: $95 class fee + $20 materials fee = $115
In this three hour class, students will be introduced to the concepts and practicalities of sharpening their spoon carving tools! Students can bring their own woodcarving knives that are in need of sharpening, although dull knives to practice on will be provided. Come learn the ins and outs of sharpening. You will get plenty of time to practice on your own, with the guidance of experienced carver and sharpener, Lee Spoons. Students will learn the basic overarching concepts of what makes a knife sharp, and how to maintain and respect the tools that allow us to carve wood! Students will leave the class with their own tools, freshly sharpened, and will have some time to carve during class as a reward for their efforts. ALL LEVELS
