Meet the 2021 Makers! Liam’s Luck Wood Craft
In the months leading up to the 2021 Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire, we will be featuring the Makers that will be appearing at the Faire!
Today’s Feature: Liam’s Luck Wood Craft
Interested in woodworking or how wooden kitchen tools are made? This year we have Liam’s Luck Wood Craft here demonstrating how to make wooden kitchenware starting from a Pennsylvania hardwood log. Liam’s Luck Wood Craft is a family business. My parents, Mike and Lisa, help me both in the shop and at shows. We hand-craft each piece, using only Pennsylvania hardwoods, most of which are reclaimed from prior clean use or recovered from blow-down or sawmill scrap. All of our items are food safe. Designed to work well and withstand daily use, each piece, if cared for correctly, will likely last a lifetime. We have a number of designs that meet most needs, but we also custom-carve to specific requests.
They will be demonstrating how to make wooden kitchenware (treenware) from scratch starting with a piece of log. Volunteers can help split billets from out of the wood into workable pieces. Then using a hatchet, old carving tools, and a carving bench, I can carve the billet into a kitchen utensil such as a spoon or spurtle (mixing stick). I bet you are asking, “What is a Spurtle?” “Spurtle” is an old Scottish word, meaning “mixing stick”. Let’s face it: “spurtle” sounds better than “mixing stick”. They look pretty in your kitchen, feel good in your hand, and they work great!

Meet the 2021 Makers! European Etched Eggs by Christine Luschas
In the months leading up to the 2021 Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire, we will be featuring the Makers that will be appearing at the Faire!
Today’s Feature: Lithuanian Egg Art
A crowd favorite returns for the 2021 Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire! Decorated eggs are an ancient custom that spans throughout Eastern Europe. In Lithuania, the eggs (Marguciai) were either dyed and the design scratched with a sharp tool or wax was applied using the batik method. Natural dyes were used from plant-based materials such as dried birch leaves and onion skins. Today, commercial dyes are used which gives the egg a brighter and richer hue.
I will be selling handcrafted etched eggs (goose, duck, turkey, chicken,) that have been dyed then scratched with a blade according to the traditions of my Lithuanian/American family. I began etching eggs fifteen years ago and it has become a relaxation tool as well as a passion. I have exhibited, demonstrated, and spoke at several museums and ethnic festivals. In 2012 I appeared on the “Martha Stewart Show” to show the ‘Queen of Crafting’ how to scratch an egg.
