Wood Carving: Teaspoon

Kwangil teaches essential carving techniques using hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, maple, and mahogany — many of which come from antique furniture he carefully dismantles and salvages. These pieces carry decades, sometimes centuries, of history. By transforming leftover fragments into new objects, he offers students a rare chance to work with materials that are beautifully aged, stable, and full of character.

In this workshop, you’ll learn foundational hand-tool techniques while carving your own wooden teaspoon, guided by the craftsmanship Kwangil has refined over two decades.
