  • SPOON CLASS ATTENDEE

    “The Local Trade's spoon carving workshop was a super fun and intimate group experience. Great to get to know a group of great people in a different setting, apply my mind to a new activity, and come away with a spoon that looked way better than I would have expected! Thank you Aaron!”
