Join us for a hands-on introduction to wood carving! In this workshop, we'll work with fresh, soft greenwood, ideal for carving. You’ll have access to a variety of tools, allowing you to experiment and begin crafting your own project—whether it's a spoon, chopsticks, or a small bowl.

Throughout this full-day session, you'll have the opportunity to complete your project, leaving with a beautifully carved spoon ready to dry. We’ll also cover the essential art of sharpening tools, ensuring you're equipped with the skills to continue carving with precision.
