You will make your spoon from locally sourced green wood using an axe and two types of knife, which we will teach you to use safely and effectively. The course is suitable for both complete beginners, and those who’ve made spoons before and would like to hone their skills and develop their designs.

Things to remember

The day will run from 9:30am - 4:30pm with an hour break for lunch. We will be working outside - though we will have a covered area - so please come prepared for all weathers. For footwear, walking boots/work boots are most appropriate - please avoid bare feet/open-toed shoes…

Ben and Hugh run an excellent workshop. They are friendly, patient and very good teachers. Everyone at the workshop was able to use the tools very quickly and produced a beautiful spoon I highly recommend this for anyone curious about getting into green woodworking.

I really enjoyed this course so much I have taken it twice. I had no prior experience with wood working. The teachers structured the course so that new skills with axe and knives were introduced gradually through the day as we needed them to make our spoons. Highly recommended.

I had such a lovely day on the spoon making course. Hugh and Ben were brilliant teachers, working at a relaxed pace and giving clear instructions. I was so pleased with my spoon and can’t wait to do more wood carving. It’s so engrossing!
