Sunday 27 July 10.00 am – 5.00 pm
£80 including tea/coffee & biscuits throughout, lunch (catering to all requirements), materials, use of equipment on the day & tutoring.
Suitable for children 14+ accompanied by an adult.
This relaxing & immersive session will teach you how to carve a large serving spoon or spatula (or both if time allows) while seated on your own safe “spoon mule” – designed so you are always comfortably cutting away from your body.
You’ll learn how to use a spoke shave to create your own handle design and help to carve the outside of your spoon bowl, and a curved carving tool to make the bowl of the spoon. Once you understand how to use the tools, you can then let your creativity run wild and enjoy this really mindful, relaxing and quite meditative process.
This spoon carving workshop is held in a dedicated covered, outside space in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey studios in the cottage gardens of our home on the Cambs/Norfolk border.
The session is hands-on, and the student will be able to use their own equipment on the day to create their pieces.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, and a light, rustic farmhouse-style lunch is also included - tailored to meet all dietary requirements. Depending on the weather/time of year, lunch can be taken either out in the cottage garden or in our country kitchen which has a view over the garden.
This workshop can also be enjoyed as a 1-2-1 immersive experience or for pairs. So couples or even parents and children can come along andexperience the art of spoon carving together!
We also offer accommodation in the form of our Crafter's Retreat cabin subject to availability or we can advise of other local B&Bs.
