A fish with ornate tail fins and sunken round eyes. A bird with a long swooping neck with a ladle for a head. Arms outstretched into oversized cupped hands. A statuette with a concave face. A canoe. These are examples of the “spoons” created by the fall semester students of UW-Madison’s Art 334 Wood Working course. Their very first assignment is hand carving the utensil out of a block of poplar.

The Tenney-Lapham Yard Sale is underway and treasure hunters from all over Madison are scouring the neighborhood looking for deals. The annual event covers households from the Yahara River to Blair Street north of East Washington Avenue. The 400 block of Few Street is particularly active, with front lawns transformed into open air marketplaces. Most are selling furniture, small household appliances, exercise equipment, maybe a few items of clothing.

WORT Music Playlists What was that song I heard? Who was the artist, what is the album title, where can I get it? Where can I find the entire playlist for a show?
