COURSE DESCRIPTION: This program will consist of two separate classes:

  • Natural Wall Hook Carving (12PM-1:30PM) - Come carve and create your own natural wall hook. We will seek and select materials by observing the natural growth patterns of small shrub trees found on the SCAN property. Using traditional hand tools each individual will create their very own functional wall hook. Tools and materials will be provided by the instructor, but bring your own tools if you have them.

  • Butter/Jam Spreader (1:30PM-3PM) - this course will investigate the use of traditional hand tools in carving your very own butter/jam spreader from a piece of green wood. Tools and materials will be provided by the instructor, but bring your own tools if you have them.
