Side Street Projects is inviting community members to pick up carving tools and learn how to shape their own wooden spoon in a free workshop this month.
The session is the second half of a two-part series led by teaching artists Max Geldman and Daniel Gaines.
Participants are expected to attend both days to learn about tools and safety techniques from start to finish.
Open to all ages, the workshop provides templates, design guides and step-by-step instruction to turn a block of wood into a finished spoon.
Attendees work with carving knives, gouges, hand files and the bandsaw, using wood pieces and hand tools supplied on site.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own tools if they have them.
All skill levels are welcome, and registration is not required; it is first come, first served, while supplies last.
The workshop is part of Side Street Projects’ broader mission to expand access to hands-on woodworking education in the community at no cost to participants.
FREE Skillshares: Intro to Woodcarving Spoons – PART 2 will run on Sunday, February 22, at 10 a.m. Location will be provided upon registration. For more information, call (626) 798-7774 or visit https://www.sidestreet.org/event-calendar/woodcarvingp1-bzw4j-7rel3. Ticket prices: Free.
