One Space on our Spoon Carving Workshop with Harry!!

Sunday 28th April
10am till 4pm

We are delighted to have the wonderful Harry and his wealth of knowledge here at the meadow 🪵🥄
Harry will teach you the basics of carving green wood, introducing you to techniques and top tips to help you along the way. You will start the day with a spoon blank, and using only a straight knife and hook knife, you will learn the safe and efficient way of using these tools. By lunchtime, you will have carved a spoon!
After lunch, the focus will be on the whole process from log to product. You will learn the principles of cleaving wood and will rough out a spoon blank with a carving axe. You will then put into practice the skills you gained in the morning to complete your second spoon!
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners, or any folk who would like to brush up on some skills. What you will learn during your day will allow you to progress towards more carving projects.
You can see more of Harry’s work on his website https://www.sparryhoonswoodcraft.com/
Age 18+

Lunch, teas and coffee’s provided!
We will also provide the wood and tools 🌿🪵
