Ramen spoon.JPG

Chirirenge in Japanese is the name of the soup spoons from Asia and is used as ramen spoons in Japan. Unlike the western spoon, it has a flat bottom and is deep to hold more soup. The handle is curved upwards and the shape mimics a fallen petal of the lotus flower called renge in Japanese. The word chiri means “to fall off.”

 The Joy of Carving workshop is a craft experience designed to help participants slow down for the sake of spoon carving and learn about this culturally unique utensil. Participants focus on the tactile exploration of wood as a creative medium, learning carving techniques to shape one’s work into functional art. This workshop covers everything from wood selection, the ramen spoon design, finishing oils, along with a knife, blade, and carving techniques so participants can experience the joy of creating their own hand-carved kitchen tool.

Wood and carving tools will be provided.
