About this event

Learn to use an axe and knives to shape wood safely and efficiently with one of the UK's leading spoon carvers and instructors. This workshop will take you through the whole process of turning fresh greenwood into spoons and give you the confidence to carry on at home. My workshops are renowned for being fun, engaging days with the emphasis on enjoying the process and working safely.

You must be 18yrs or older to attend this workshop.

Spoon carving is a perfect introduction to wood carving and an addictive hobby. You only need a few tools and small amounts of wood to create beautiful, useful gifts. Suitable for beginners or wood workers looking to escape the machines and get back to the joy of hand tools and soft, green wood.

All materials and use of my tools is included in the price. Spoon carving kits, including the axe and two special knives shown in the photo, will be available to purchase on the day.

Frequently asked questions

I'm left handed, does that make a difference?

I've taught lots of left-handed people to carve and can demonstrate left-handed technique. I will have left-handed versions of the tools available so you can work effectively and comfortably.

Can I cancel my place & get a refund?

For cancellations I can only refund your fee if I am able to fill your space, less a £15 administration fee. Refunds are not available for cancellations within 7 days of the event. Please note that Eventbrite's booking fee is non-refundable.
