Carving Class
The atelier of Manispoons is a space for learning and sharing.
​
Open-hearted in any terms - gender, sexuality, age, geological roots, and level of expertise. The carving class is a community of practice in intergenerational learning and open to everyone — young children, older and younger people. From beginners to those with experience, everyone can learn at their own pace finding their rhythm in carving. We also encourage a class to be a LGBTQ open and friendly space, where everyone feels free to ask questions and share their experience and feelings.

The focus of carving class lies on experiencing of sharing
