Spoon carving experience - SOLD OUT

Try your hand at the traditional woodland craft of spoon carving, set in the tranquillity of Bradgate Park's Woodland Workshop. 

Over this two day course, you will spend time learning how to use basic tools - including knives, axes and saws - to create your very own spoon. Led by Graeme Turner of GrizzleyPaw Design, you will be guided through the processes of turning timber to treen.

Set in the tranquil woodland at Hunt's Hill, this is the perfect chance to slow down and connect with nature over the weekend.

Course outline: 

• Day 1: Use of the knife, axe and saw to create a spatula.
