The Joy of Carving – Chopsticks
Cost: $90 Advance Registration Required
Hashi, the Japanese word for chopsticks, are an essential part of dining across Asia, designed for precision and balance. Unlike Western utensils, chopsticks encourage a more mindful eating experience, requiring dexterity and a connection to the food. Their form is simple yet elegant, with variations in shape and material reflecting regional traditions and culinary uses. Participants will slow down and engage in the tactile exploration of wood, learning carving techniques to shape their own set of chopsticks. The workshop covers wood selection, traditional chopstick proportions, finishing methods, and carving techniques, allowing participants to create a functional and personal kitchen tool while experiencing the joy of handmade craftsmanship.
