| more than just a weekend's entertainment ... |
|
| Our courses are unique in that we focus on the skills we would like you to take away at the end of the course, although you will also have some spoons too! |
|
| You’ll learn some basic cuts with knives and axes which will enable you to use spoon carving tools efficiently and safely. You’ll then be guided through a few simple projects where you will be able to use those cuts and add to them as your skill grows. |
|
| By the end of the course, not only will you have a good grounding in spoon carving skills, but you will have learned: |
- an economic way to equip yourself to continue spoon carving
- how to sharpen and care for your own tools
- the sort of wood to use and where to get it from
|
| Plus you'll have the chance to see a range of different things you can make with the same wood and tools; pots and boxes, cord, tool handles, sheaths, and more. |
|
| Included in the price of most courses is a knife and some extra wood so you can continue carving as soon as you get home. You will also have access to a special website with pictures and video to remind yourself of how to use your tools, spoon carving advice and more besides. |
|
| We’re rather proud of the number of people who continue carving after they’ve been on one of our courses! |
| ... learning skills for life |
