SUMMARY:Wooden Spoon Carving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nOn this therapeutic one-day beginners’ course at Stanwick Lakes you will learn how to carve a spoon using basic wood carving techniques and tools. \nYou will begin by learning how to cleave wood and use an axe to produce your spoon blank. The rest of the day will be spent using a sloyd knife and a hook knife to carve to shape your individual home-made spoon. The course covers a selection of knife grips\, which will keep your carving under control as well as keeping you safe. Time will be spent looking at how the spoon develops in a 3-dimensional form\, covering the spoons ‘crook’\, bowl and handle to get a well-balanced and functioning spoon. \nWooden spoons like you will make have been carved for thousands of years and for most of the population\, were used as an eating utensil until relatively recently. ‘Spoon’ was originally an Anglo-Saxon word that meant ‘a chip of wood’. The oldest known wooden spoon in England is a ladle found at Glastonbury Lake Village dating to 250BC. Another notable find of wooden spoons are the personal spoons found on the wreck of the Mary Rose. These spoons may have been whittled by their owners. \nThe course takes place in and around the purpose built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes which is managed by Rockingham Forest Trust as an environmental charity. \nParking is included in the ticket price. Tickets are £95 per person per one day workshop. \nBook now \nCancellation policy: Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts.
