COAL BURNT SPOONS : 4 hour workshop | $65/person* | 5 - 8 participants
We build the fire together and then, using coal from the fire, you will learn how to design, carve and hollow out the bowl of a wooden spoon. We'll also carve the handles and the final step is how to sand and finish the piece. The best part is that you get to leave the class with your very own custom creation!
* Materials included.
