Register for the 2019 Spoon Gathering

Join us in Milan Minnesota for 3 enjoyable days of wood spoon carving, green woodworking, demonstrations, workshops, presentations, networking, and friendship.

What started as a small gathering of passionate wood spoon carvers in St. Paul, Minnesota has grown into a vibrant festival of spoon carving, green woodworking and the decorative arts. Attracting spoon carvers from across the United States and abroad, the Spoon Gathering today offers a family friendly event catering to both novice and experienced carvers.

Apart from ample carving time, expect to experience a variety of demonstrations, workshops and presentations from some of the best in their field, including bowl carving, kuksa carving, kolrosing, chip carving, incising, tool sharpening, and of course spoon carving.

Free camping facilities are available. The Spoon Gathering is a carving weekend, so bring your spoon blanks and carving tools or just come to watch and enjoy the weekend.

The 2019 Information Package will be available in early 2019. Please contact the school or visit our website at milanvillageartsschool.org. You can also find up-to-date information on our Facebook page. Go to www.facebook.com and search “The Spoon Gathering”.
