Let’s Make a Spoon!

Create a one of-a-kind small serving, baby, table, or commemorative spoon.  It’s not as complicated as you might think! In this workshop, students can choose among several techniques for creating a personalized spoon. This is an excellent introduction to the basics of smithing without the time and expense of raising a large vessel.  Spoons are a great gift idea and a marvelous opportunity to explore forging metal to create something other than jewelry. Copper will be provided; however, students are welcome to work in silver.  No experience necessary.

Basic materials included

Dana Cassara began practicing the art of silversmithing at North Seattle Community College in 1992. She discovered her love for the craft after returning to school to pursue a teaching degree with a focus in social studies. She graduated from the University of Washington in 1998 with a B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas as well as Interdisciplinary Arts, because she just couldn't stay out of the art department. She has been teaching jewelry design since 1999 and loves what she does.
