I’m delighted that JoJo Wood and her partner, Sean, will visit Covington, Ky., on their upcoming trip across the Atlantic. JoJo is teaching two courses at Plymouth Craft in Massachusetts, then they’re traveling to Kentucky for a two-day spoon-carving class on August 8-9. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, July 5, at 10 a.m. Eastern.
Starting from a piece of fresh green wood and using just three hand tools (small axe or hatchet, straight “slojd” knife, hook/“spoon” knife), you’ll learn simple carving techniques to create beautiful spoons you can use in your home. Take home some beautiful objects and plenty of new skills to begin or continue carving at home. The class is suitable for those with any or no carving experience – including complete beginners ($350 plus a small stock fee).
Read more in the class description on our Covington Mechanicals classes site, and set a reminder to return Tuesday at 10 a.m. to register.

I’m taking a class with her in Plymouth. I’m amazed that I got a spot. Really looking forward to it.
I’d have loved to go to Covington. But I can pretty much walk to Plymouth.
I was thinking about making a trip to Covinington too, but I’m closer to Plymouth myself. I got a spot yesterday for Thurs/Fri and there was 1 spot left.
Also, Wed is Spoonfest day in Plymouth and had many spots as they opened it up on July 4th.
Her spoons are so beautiful. While I doubt I’ll be able to be there, I sure would like to attend.
Do the students need to bring the three tools needed for the class, or will tools be available to use?
