Spoon Carving - Half Day
Times:
10am - 12.30pm
2pm - 4.30pm
This regular class in spoon carving introduces you to the art of carving with an axe, a knife and a crook knife. By carving a spoon, you can focus on becoming familiar with the tools of the craft without the pressure of knowing what to carve. As you gain confidence with the tools, you begin to build a relationship with your small scale carving and understand the subtle and addictive qualities of this new hobby.
Additional Information
We will use green wood, freshly cut with a high moisture content. This is a beautiful and easy way to carve wood.
You are supported through the whole process and encouraged to explore carving in your own way and at your own pace. This is an exercise in slowing down and settling your attention.
All tools and materials are supplied and at the end of the session you will have your first carving started.
Please note that this workshop will only take place if the required minimum number of participants is reached. You will be notified one week before the date of the workshop if it needs to be rescheduled. Alternative dates will be offered, but no refunds. Thank you for your support.
