Spoon Carving
Workshop with Alex Finberg
Friday 14 June, 10.30am - 3pm
£65
Venue: MAKE Southwest
Suitable for: Adults
Level: Beginners
Come and carve a wooden spoon, with MAKE Southwest Maker Member, Alex Finberg.
Come and carve a wooden spoon! We will use simple hand tools and age old techniques to carve wooden spoons from a spoon blank to a finished cooking spoon. There is something extremely satisfying about carving and then using a wooden spoon!
This course is recommended for complete beginners who have never carved a spoon before through to people who have perhaps carved in the past or need to brush up on their carving skills.
All materials and tools will be provided.
This workshop coincides with our next Jubilee Gallery exhibition '20 Years in the Making' - a celebration of 20 years of the Craft Festival.
