In this workshop you will shape a spoon’s curvy contours with two traditional Swedish carving tools\, the Sloyd knife and the hook knife. We will work with precut green wood spoon blanks that are supple with the moisture from the tree they came from. Safe practices and effective wood removal will be taught in a series of knife moves that will be practiced with body awareness.

The initiative aims to address a lack of research in the field while increasing visibility and community for marginalized queer artists working with the material of wood. This workshop is the first of many auxiliary programs leading up to the Queering Wood Craft\, a landmark exhibition\, highlighting LGBTQIA+ woodworking artists. The culmination of this project will be a 3-month exhibition—the first and largest of its kind—opening in May 2027. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Queering Wood Craft Meet-up: Philadelphia Pride Festival
DESCRIPTION:Queering Wood Craft Meet-up: Philadelphia Pride Festival | Sun. June 7\, 2026 | 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm ET | In-person\, Eakins Oval\, Benjamin Franklin Parkway\, Philadelphia\, PA\n\n*There is a $10.00 ticket fee to enter the festival. You can find us at the Makers Tent. \nRSVP \nJoin us for the Queering Wood Craft Meet-Up to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community during the 2026 Philadelphia Pride Festival!Connect with fellow makers and share stories\, experiences\, and creativity within our vibrant roundtable members. Stop by\, say hi\, and be part of the conversation! \nArtist Scott Braun will be joining us for the day with his The Decency Project. The Project ranges from intimate dialog to group conversation to performative demonstrations and sometimes even collaborative performance. In all cases\, finding connection and community through craft and labor is at the core. What does it mean to be human? If I am human\, what does that mean I should do\, and not do? How do we define decency and shame? Come carve a spoon with me and find answers together. At least more questions. Or maybe just a way to feed each other. \nArtist Fable Maas will also be joining us to give a Marquetry demo on the Markers Stage at 2:30 pm. \nThe Museum will be hosting a hands-on craft table for all ages to participate. \nBe sure to catch both artists and get crafty at our table. \nQuestions?
