Spoon Carving

Jump into the captivating world of spoon carving whether you are a first timer or wanting to develop your skills. Learn about the form and function of a good spoon and how to make the most of the wood for strength and beauty.

One of the delights of spoon carving is how few tools you need in order to create something unique. Using just axe, knife and spoon knife you'll learn traditional greenwood techniques throughout the day.

You will leave with your spoon and the foundations needed if you would like to develop your interest back at home.



"I woke this morning fully expecting to spend the day spoon carving , sadly I had to attend work ………

I really enjoyed yesterday, the pace and style of teaching was perfect and the atmosphere great.

I consolidated some skills I already had and learnt some new ones also, it was great to handle other types of tools and share the experience with yourself and other spoon fans.

A brilliant course, well run in a superb setting, I’ll be looking to return at some point, good luck and many thanks."

“What made it special for me was the homely and personal nature of the day, superb tools and work areas in a beautiful setting"

I just wanted to let you know how much Steve and I and the children enjoyed our two days in the woods with you. It was all and more than we hoped for and full credit to you both for having such a fantastic concept and creating it so beautifully. I wandered to walk this morning by the riverside looking at the trees and trying to see if I could recognise them - I'm certainly more aware but still have some way to go but hank you for what you did manage to teach me! Once again - thanks you so very very much!
