A Weekend with Tommy Simpson
Saturday, October 22nd
Sunday, October 23rd
10:00am - 5:00pm
Peters Valley is excited to partner with The Furniture Society to present this special workshop event. In this weekend workshop Tommy Simpson and Abby Mechanic will be leading participants through an exploratory spoon carving workshop. Participants will be presented with a prompt by Tommy and will react via the spoon carving process. On every hour participants will swap spoons with a neighbor and will be challenged to make on the fly design decisions. Over the two day period all participants will have had a hand at helping to create a suite of spoons. This weekend will be a time to create community within the woodworking field and to reflect on the joys of making!

50 Years in the Making
We are a vibrant community, bringing together established and emerging artists from around the globe since 1970. Coming together to make things makes us better artists, able to learn from each other, and to evaluate our own efforts in a wider context.
We provide studio-based educational workshops for life-long learners who have the opportunity to benefit from working with nationally and internationally-recognized artists.
Buy from Artists
Shop handmade crafts from 180 makers. Proceeds support these independent working artists and our educational programs.
Our Campus in the Delaware Water Gap
Our facilities, nestled amid the fields, forests and streams of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, were once the charming and leafy farm village of Bevans. Through adaptive reuse, these historic buildings now serve as a gathering place for a thriving community of artists and environmentalists, thinkers and changers of the world.
