Creating beautiful wooden ware with one’s own hands can be an intoxicating endeavor.  With the use of hand tools to craft a useful kitchen utensil, this one-day Saturday class will have you walking away with a completed project, ready to be used in your kitchen. 

I teach 4 levels of spoon carving.  These spoons are examples of each level, starting from left to right:  flat spatula (bird’s eye maple), tasting/stirring spoon (mesquite), deep-bowled serving spoon (curly maple), and deep-bowled ladle (cherry).  All levels build on skills that advance to the next level. 

The Saturday class, held at my studio in Harpswell, is from 9:30 AM to 5 PM and includes sharpened tools and materials.  

  • Levels 1 and 2: $150

  • Level 3: $170

  • Level 4: $180

I loved taking Lynette's carving classes. What fun! A fine teacher, she conveys a profound reverence for and knowledge of wood as a continually living entity. She knows her tools well and easily conveys their use to the student. Creating a warm and safe atmosphere even for beginners, she provides all the materials for a satisfying experience, and at the end, you have a lovely wooden utensil of your own making.
