Celebrate Pride with a hands-on carving activity! Join us at NextFab for a wood carving session hosted in partnership with @Museum for Art in Wood . In this workshop you will shape a spoon’s curvy contours with two traditional Swedish carving tools, the Sloyd knife and the hook knife. We will work with precut green wood spoon blanks that are supple with the moisture from the tree they came from. Safe practices and effective wood removal will be taught in a series of knife moves that will be practiced with body awareness. Turn 'green wood' into your new favorite kitchen tool. Whether you're here for the meditative whittling or the community connection, you’ll leave with a custom spoon and a brand-new skill.

Event Details:
📅 Date: Saturday, June 6, 2026

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our newest face in the woodshop, Lauren Kim. She’s stepping in while Hannah heads to Vermont this Summer for a prestigious assistantship at the Yestermorrow Design/Build School. We’re so excited for Hannah’s next chapter and thrilled to have Lauren’s expertise on the shop floor!

A note from Lauren,
"Hello NextFab community, I’m Lauren Kim. I have big shoes to fill, and I’ll do my very best! To introduce myself a little bit, I am a second-generation Korean-American furniture designer and multidisciplinary artist. I went to school at Drexel University, and graduated with a major in product design and minors in both graphic design and fine arts. I love designing and building furniture, creating branding kits, and drawing! My practice is rooted in the joy of shaping raw material and bringing form to feeling, and I love making things people can gather around, touch, and live with. My work sits at the intersection of functional furniture, narrative object making, and material driven experimentation. I have shown my furniture in many different cities such as Miami and New York City, and you may have seen some of my public installation work around Philadelphia in the form of wooden playgrounds and signage. I love talking about everything creative, so please bend my ear with information on all the cool projects you’re working on! My practice is rooted in bringing form to feeling.

Join us for our newest Maker Series, Create a Custom Workwear Jacket. In this course starting Thursday June 4th, we meet every Thursday from 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm to learn the ins and outs of professional garment construction.

From there, you’ll build the architecture of your piece focusing on seam strength for the body and sleeves before tackling intricate details like collars, cuffs, and pockets. Finally, you’ll do the finishing touches, including bartacking for durability and installing industrial metal hardware. Registration opens today and closes June 1st!
