Last autumn, I was asked to deliver a beginners spoon carving workshop for TCV in Doncaster. We’d hoped to be outside on one of the sites they manage but the weather meant we instead made use of their fantastic facility in Doncaster itself.
We used some fresh, green silver birch, starting by splitting and axing the wood to shape. The afternoon was then spent learning knife skills to refine the shape and hollow the bowl.
All my workshops follow this format, ensuring you learn all the skills to create your own, unique spoons directly from raw timber.
If you’re interested in learning to carve, check out my upcoming spoon carving courses in Manchester and the Yorkshire Dales. Suitable for complete beginners or those looking to improve their skills.
