Spoon Carving
Workshop with Alex Finberg
Friday 18 October, 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.
