Top 10 Best Bowl Making classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Want to take your greenwood carving to the next level? Made a few spoons, and wondering where to go from here? This FULL-DAY WORKSHOP will equip you to progress onwards and upwards in your spoon-making journey. As well as recapping on best practise techniques, we will look more in depth at spoon proportions, adding in the ‘crank’ element and looking at decorative options – added features/bark handles/asymmetrical designs. Starting with a freshly cleft section of a log, we will carve an EATING SPOON for you to take home and try out on your morning bowl of porridge! We will be using and refining techniques with an axe, straight knife and hook knife, focussing on safety and economy. The course is suitable for people who have carved at least 3 spoons before. 18+ *Bristol Tree Craft is a Community Interest Company working with limited resources , sometimes we may have to cancel or postpone courses if they are less than 50% undersubscribed.
