Create beautiful and useful things for your kitchen and your home. Using birch and alder, the classic and versatile materials for northern boreal forest craft, you will carve spoons, butter knives, coat hooks and more. This class uses only simple hand tools, and will also include discussion of the Scandinavian traditions of handmade objects for the home. You'll learn the basics of greenwood carving and how to properly care for your creations so that they will be durable and functional for years to come. Weather permitting, you will also go for a short hike in the woods to see the materials in their natural habitats and discuss harvest. Leave with the skills to continue carving on your own.
