Every week, NYC tree trimmers cut down branches all over the city and haul them away. We intercept them. Then we teach you how to turn them into something beautiful.
Join us for a hands-on spoon carving workshop where you'll learn to shape a functional wooden spoon from raw NYC wood - start to finish, by hand. No power tools. No experience needed. Just a knife, a blank, and a few hours of focused, quiet work.
What's included:
• All tools provided - carving knives, gouges, and cutting gloves
• A wood blank foraged from NYC tree trimmings (you'll learn the species and where it came from)
• Step-by-step instruction from blank to finished spoon
• Sandpaper and food-safe oil to finish your piece
• You take your spoon home
You'll walk away with a handmade spoon you carved yourself from a tree that grew in this city - and you'll be on your way to earning your Wild Captives Woodcraft badge.
