UTENSILS
I’ve had multiple requests for wooden utensils over the years and have just recently taken on this project. I was approached by JA The librarian at the Centre County Grange Fair about making spurtles. She seemed so excited about these “spurtles” that I decided to look into it. This has since turned into another interesting project for me. I’ve created multiple versions of the spurtle, stirring paddles, spatulas, folding tongs and bottle openers.
My main focus for utensils is the Spurtle, which is an American version of a popular Scottish tool used for stirring porridge. It can be used for stirring anything. It’s perfect for reaching into the sides of pans and even scrapping out batter. These are also available for left-handed use.
Utensils can be purchased at The Gallery Shop and Penns Creek Pottery
