Spoon Carving

The art of carving allows us to get outside and into nature and simply slow down, tune into the landscape. These courses cater for everyone, especially those who didn't even think that they could master the skills of using an axe and a knife to make beautiful things. The course is run within the beautiful Mount Edgcumbe Country Park on the Southern banks of the River Tamar. The class is taught by an experienced military survival expert and wood carver who provides a unique introduction to the evolution of spoon making from elementary survivalist to specialist bush-crafter. We learn about the different materials and properties that our forests provide and techniques that will inspire to take up this very relaxing and rewarding skill.
