The goal of this project is to enhance my personal skill and understanding of the craft of traditional wooden spoon carving. The main measurable outcome of this project will be my ability to create beautiful and functional wooden utensils. I intend to craft spoons for sale, though as a beginning artist and novice woodworker, I don't expect to be marketing items for some time yet. A future measurable outcome will be income from my spoon crafting. A formal workshop evaluation is done directly through North House Folk School, and in addition to that I plan to photographically document the change in my spoons; pre-workshop versus post-workshop, and see if there is observable change. Measuring future income will obviously depend on circumstance.
The number of spoons I made while participating in the class.
