Spoon Carving Workshop

Come spend a Sunday with the opportunity to walk away not only with an amazing experience but also a set of spoon carving tools and a beautiful wooden spoon made with your own hands! The class is a relaxed full-day workshop. Creating something as fundamentally human as a wooden spoon using simple hand tools can be a satisfying experience. This guided workshop will take you through the process of selecting materials and the relaxing process of making your own wooden spoon. After a safety briefing you will receive tools and materials. Then spend a few hours slowly carving a spoon, break for lunch before completing the spoon in the afternoon. Included is a set of Spoon Carving Tools (to take home after the class is completed, hook knife, sloyd knife and sharpening strop). All materials required (spoon blank in wood, sand paper, food safe organic wood finish). Use of other hand tools, based on your design (small axe, saw, chopping block, vice, clamps). Cut-resistant gloves for limited protection against the tools. All instructions and support required on the day. Lunch included from a local cafe (burger, poke bowl, salad).
