A Gathering of Spoons May 4, 2010

A spoon may often be seen as simply a mundane tool used to ferry food from bowl to mouth, but through the skilled hands of the 50+ artists and craftspeople represented in this exhibit the spoon is transformed from a tool to a feast for the eyes. Norman Stevens has worked with spooncarvers from around the world, inviting them to create nine-inch spoons for his collection. The exhibit features work by traditional Scandinavian and American carvers, as well as non-utilitarian sculptural pieces.
