The Spoon Gram Project with Kate Hawes | Thurs. June 9, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | ZOOM

Click HERE to RSVP

The popularity of spoon carving has exploded over the past few years. Virtual carving meetups and the fact that you don’t need a whole woodshop to successfully create a functional and beautiful spoon have made this craft accessible for everyone. Join us with artist Kate Hawes to discuss their Spoon Gram Project, a carvers relationship to the material, and what it means to build community. We’ll also tackle the phenomenon of spoon swapping. Don’t miss this fascinating talk.

Portrait of Kate Hawes

Kate Hawes is a woodworker and emerging craft writer based in the Catskill Mountains of New York. They are a 2022 graduate of the Masters in Critical Craft program at Warren Wilson College. Their research interests include spoon exchanges in carving community, the material agency of wood in craft practices, and the phenomenon of dullness in tool use. They have a certificate in cabinet and furniture making from North Bennet Street School, and completed a residency at the Anderson Ranch Art Center. They have taught woodworking at Peters Valley School of Craft, Makeville Studio, the American Folk Art Museum, and the now defunct Crafts Students League.
