In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to make your own ice cream spoon from pure silver.
Pure silver has high thermal conductivity so when you use this spoon the heat from your fingers will transfer and in turn melt the ice cream. Be surprised by how smoothly the spoon will cut through ice cream, it may even taste better than usual.
Compact to use and smooth to touch, it is also recommended for children and babies' use, maybe even a good gift to celebrate a new baby! 

Customize the spoon with whatever pattern you like and make a one-of-a-kind spoon for yourself or for a special person.
