The knife is arguably our most important tool. For thousands of years, people have used knives made of metal and stone to cut, scrape, carve, dig, gouge, and separate various materials for consumption or other use. In the modern world, however, many of us have forgotten how to use knives anywhere outside the kitchen.
In this workshop, you will learn how to use a knife to carve your own pair of wooden chopsticks. We’ll cover the basics of safety, techniques, and good wood carving form. You’ll be able to put those chopsticks to good use on light dim sum hors d’oeuvres in the garden, and MJM Executive Director Dawn LaRochelle, who spent years living and traveling in Japan, China, and Taiwan, will be on hand to discuss the history of chopsticks and the Jewish obsession with Chinese food.
