Looking to step up your kitchen game? What better way to show your food some love than using your very own hand made wooden utensils?
About this Event

This class will teach you to use some basic shop tools so you can master craft your own spatula and pasta ladle. While pretty to look at, you’re not going to want to put that spatula down once you start cooking, it’s just so fun to use.

The pasta ladle comes with a handy measuring slot to get the perfect spaghetti serving for two.

This class is perfect for individuals and couples. So make that promise of doing something together a reality and come on out.

This workshop will use cherry and maple, beautiful hardwoods, for the kitchen utensils.

Please dress appropriately for working in a woodshop: closed-toe shoes, hair tied in the back, and no loose clothing.
