Spoon Carving Workshop 2025

Have you ever wondered how hand carved wooden spoons are created? Join us for this day-long hands-on class taught by Connecticut Woodworker, Rick Liegl. Students will learn the basics of timber selection and layout all while using traditional tools and methods to create a hand carved finished product. As a group, we will discuss the various aspects of carving a spoon and go step by step carving your spoon from a log of locally grown wood. Participants are welcome to bring a cooking spoon from home to use as inspiration.

Students will be provided with hand and eye protection, and appropriate axes/tools for use during the class. Students will be required to wear closed toed shoes or boots and wear long pants that fully cover the leg. Participants must be 16 years old or older.
