What you'll do

Spend your Saturday morning focusing on carving an aspect to improve your wooden spoons in a fun, yet relaxing environment. Catie and Steve will help guide you in finding an area to focus on and improve your carving. Choose to work on making your spoons finer, more detailed, or perhaps even bigger!

Using hand tools, you will start with a spoon blank and carve your own spoon. You will focus on one particular aspect you would like to improve. You will have time to complete your spoon, ready to finish, to use yourself or gift to someone special.

There will be various spoon blank shapes and different timbers to choose from. Pick the blank that speaks to you. Timbers and shapes vary from workshop to workshop due to timber availability.

Using traditional tools and methods for creating is important to us, and passing on these skills is our passion. We have always been the types of people who would prefer to make something with our hands than to buy off the shelf. Sometimes there is nothing better than making with your own hands.

We focus our workshops on the mindfulness of traditional making, and finding the technique that works for each person. Regardless if it is woodworking or leatherwork, we focus on teaching traditional ways to create. We find joy each time one of our workshop participants is beaming with pride when they step back and see what they have made.

Sustainability is also an important component of what we do. The timber we use is sustainably sourced from small, local timber suppliers. Our leather is sourced right here in Brisbane, where they have developed sustainable practices to produce Vegtan leather.
