Andreea Grad

Originally from Transylvania, Andreea started spoon carving in 2020, while living in the US, and quickly fell in love with it. More than 700 spoons later, including a year-long project, she's been exploring various wood essences, shapes and styles, from traditional to modern, along with different decorating techniques. She draws her inspiration from the traditional Romanian designs in different mediums, and bringing it all together in her own expression, she creates unique spoons, in honor of the traditions of her country. Andreea has taught at numerous international festivals over the last two years, and she brings all her knowledge, experience, and heart to her teaching.
