Spoon Carving Course with Sussex Green Woodworking
Description
Sussex Green Woodworking offer 1 day Spoon Carving courses. Spend a few days in a beautiful Sussex woodland, using locally grown hardwood to make yourself a beautiful finished spoon that you can cherish for life. Starting with a simple log, you chop, cut and whittle your way towards your own hand-made Spoons. The tools and techniques used are all traditional; handed down from craftsmen to craftsmen, with little changed over the generations. Using simple hand tools avoids the noise, dust and danger of modern carpentry techniques, and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of this small forest. In this small sanctuary, away from the noise and distraction of everyday living, you can enjoy the chatter of the birds and the whispering of the wind to the trees. The woods themselves are owned and maintained by woodsman, furniture maker and tutor Danny Harling, who for over twenty years has been caring for this land and teaching his craft. He prides himself on ensuring that everyone who attends, leaves with a finished spoon they can be proud of. You might just surprise yourself! The space is safe and inclusive, so come and join a small group of like-minded group of people for chats around the fire-side over lunch. Sussex Green Woodworking run a variety of courses that are suitable for anyone with an interest in green wood-working; from complete beginners to more experienced wood workers.
