In this 3-hour workshop, learn how to power carve a functional salad set or a spatula & serving spoon. This workshop combines power carving safety and a more in-depth project. The longer format allows students to familiarize themselves with the tools used, and then start power carving safely. Students will carve their choice of 2 projects, and start using a set of wood blanks. We’ll discuss design techniques to implement into the project, making it unique and personalized.

• Dress in layers so you can adjust to the outside temperature. A hat and or sunscreen is recommended if it’s warm out.
• Bring water/beverage if you need to be comfortable.

• Long hair must be tied back.
• Do not wear clothing with flowy sleeves and no dangly jewelry as these items can get caught on tools and machines.
• An apron is recommended. You may borrow, or buy an apron in our studio. You can buy one here.
