Portland Spoon Club is a space for green woodworkers to gather to carve in company, share techniques & resources and show off tools & projects. Folks are encouraged to bring crafts & tools to swap & sell.
When: 10 am-4 pm the 3rd Sunday of the month. A spoon carving crash course is from roughly 10:30 am-11:30 am Where: In the St Johns neighborhood of Portland, by Cathedral Park. The exact location will be provided after sign up. The gathering area is outside, but there is cover to shelter from rain & sun. What to bring: Tools & materials: Participants should bring their own tools and wood, but folks often bring wood to share and Spoon Club does have a couple sets of loaner tools, including: straight knives, hook knives, hatchets and hand saws. Other things: Bring a comfortable chair, gear to keep you comfortable outside and lunch/snacks. Shared snacks and treats are welcomed.
THIS IS NOT A CLASS. This space is meant as a social atmosphere, but we aim to help aspiring crafters get started safely by offering a spoon carving crash course at the beginning of the day. A person brand new to the craft needs to bring a sense of experimentation and exploration and understand that this is not a class. There are always helpful, experienced carvers to ask questions of, but they are there to carve & socialize.
Minimum age is 16 and No dogs allowed There is a suggested donation of $5-10 with no one turned away.
Please sign up through the button below & remember, it’s all just firewood.
