A four-hour class devoted to teaching you what you need to know to begin, and continue, this enjoyable pastime.
Covered in the class are the basics of wood identification; as well as the layout, carving and finishing a hardwood wooden spoon. We’ll focus on carving technique, and hopefully, by the end of the class, participants will leave with a spoon of their own making, as well as the wood, skills and tools necessary to start another spoon. Participants should specify their dominant hand at application.

Known for making home recordings, STEPHEN BLUHM sings and dances with the audience at shows.

This time, he’s bringing live musicians with him—Andrew Stein on drums and piano, Chris Meier on bass, and Jon Byron Woodin on cello. Bluhm flips the switch back and forth between synth pop and and softer, chamber pop pieces, a la Left Banke. Among his favorite artists Bluhm counts an eclectic mix, including Stephen Sondheim, Burt Bacharach, the Beach Boys, OMD, Erasure, and ABBA.

An engaging performer who loves dancing with the audience, Bluhm has been writing and performing for over 10 years. Bluhm has graced the stage of Helsinki Hudson a great many times; he hosted Helsinki’s weekly open-mic when the club first opened.
