Harpswell Maine is the site of a great spoon carving class being offered by Lynette Breton Design.
In April, I had two fabulous Spoon Carving 101 classes and we had so much fun that I am going to try and offer this class once a month. At least when the weather is predictable, scheduling is more predictable. It is so satisfying to see students get inspired and walk away with something they completed in this one day Saturday class. AND, believe me, the spatula is the favored tool in the kitchen.
So, if you want to give an experiential gift to someone you love, want to gift yourself with a hands on creative, useful project (maybe you gift your creation to someone else!) or want to get together with friends and fill a class (minimum 5 people) ,it is a great gift, great way to learn some hand tool skills and a great way to spend time in a day long learning community. The work is focused yet quiet enough with lots of time for one on one instruction. Plus, it is an absolute pleasure to shave away at wood and can be quiet meditative if that is the experience you want.
(And for those of you who have taken this class, please forward to someone you know would enjoy this fun filled day!)
The scheduled Saturday date is set by you, the students, and I coordinate setting that up with you and require 5 people to run a class. This is all done by email and pretty efficient ending up accommodating every ones needs and available dates. Check out the enclosed poster and give me a call so we can start planning!
Thank you,
Lynette
testimonial from class participant
The day in the woodworking studio with Lynette was a gift all around! Lynette shared her creative gift through her heartfelt teaching. Her depth of experience with and feeling for the wood is truly inspiring. In the sweet atmosphere of her woodworker space everyone in class gave the gift of their feedback and process to each other. I’ve worked with wood for many years, and I still marvel at how I could make such an elegant tool out of a block of wood! The graceful form is in the heart; mine and the woods, and Lynette was my guide to both for a whole wonderful day.
