Beginner Spoon Carving Workshop, 4 hours (Sydney)

4 hour Spoon Carving Workshop, Hands-on experience

Location: Brookvale, NSW 2100

Come spend half a day with us and walk away not only with the experience, but also a beautiful wooden spoon made with your own hands! 

The class is a shorter version of our full-day class, now 4 hours without lunch or spoon carving tools to take home.

You still get the full experience, learning to craft your own spoon with axe and knives!

Creating something as fundamentally human as a wooden spoon using simple hand tools can be a satisfying experience.

This guided workshop will take you through the process of selecting materials and the relaxing process of making your own wooden spoon. After a safety briefing you will receive tools and materials. Then we will spend a few hours slowly carving a spoon together.

Included:

• Use of Carving Tools
• All materials required (spoon blank in wood, sand paper, food safe organic wood finish)
• Use of other hand tools, based on your design (small axe, saw, chopping block, vice, clamps)
• Cut-resistant gloves for limited protection against the tools
• All instructions and support required on the day

Please note: this class no longer includes a tool set to bring home or lunch from 2025.

Suitable For:

• Anyone over 16 years old with an interest in making their own spoon, no prior experience is required.
• We will be doing some basic axe work as part of the spoon making. Those selecting to not complete the axe steps will use a softer carving wood which can be worked without the use of an axe.
• Anyone able to follow basic safety instructions required to work with sharp tools. Such as only carving while sitting down, carving away from your body and be mindful of the safety guidelines as provided by your instructor who is with you every step of the way.

We recommend wearing full-length pants and closed-toe shoes on the day. We will provide fabric "cut resistant" gloves on the day, these offer limited protection against slicing wounds but great care is always required when working with sharp tools.
