Studio Francine x Melanie Abrantes Designs
Sign up for a workshop in San Jose through Melanie Abrantes Designs here.

Join our in-person carving workshop and learn how to carve a wooden spoon!  

We will lead students in hand carving their own wooden spoon using traditional Japanese tools and techniques. We will lead students in carving the bowl of the spoon with the spoon gouge, then designing and whittling the handle and top of the spoon. When the final design has been reached, students will sand and finish their spoons with an all-natural finish. All tools will be provided to use during the workshop, with the option of purchasing the tools at a discounted rate to continue your spoon-making practice at home!
