Come and spend 4 hours with us learning spoon carving and walk away not only with the experience but also a beautiful wooden spoon made with your own hands!
Creating something as fundamentally human as a wooden spoon using simple hand tools is such a satisfying experience.
This half day guided workshop in Sydney will take you through the process of selecting materials and the relaxing process of making your own wooden spoon. After a safety briefing, you will receive the tools and materials. Then we will spend a few hours slowly carving a spoon together.
What's included in the workshop:
  • All materials required (spoon blank in wood, sandpaper, food-safe organic wood finish)
  • Use of other hand tools, based on your design (a small axe, saw, chopping block, vice, clamps)
  • Cut-resistant gloves for limited protection against the tools
  • All instructions and support required on the day
How the workshop will run:
The day starts with a safety briefing and then we discuss the process from sourcing sustainable materials to the steps involved in making spoons. From axe work to bowl carving and the whittling of the bowl outline before we finish with hand sanding your spoon and applying your choice of either hemp seed oil or our own CoCoBee mix to your spoon. Both finishes are organic and food safe. You will leave not only with your spoon but with the skills required to continue your journey as a spoonsmith!
The workshop will be held in the back yard of our location in Brookvale, Northern Beaches Sydney. This is an industrial setting outside, under a roof with basic facilities. Bring a coffee and spend a few hours crafting a spoon with us.

Knowledge required
Anyone over 16 years old with an interest in making their own spoon, no prior experience is required.
We will be doing some basic axe work, for those selecting to use greenwood. Those selecting to not complete the axe steps or preferring softer material will carve pine which can be worked without the use of an axe.
Anyone able to follow basic safety instructions required to work with sharp tools. Such as only carving while sitting down, carving away from your body and be mindful of the safety guidelines as provided by your instructor who is with you every step of the way.
What you'll get
  • Hands-on experience in a small group setting.
  • You will create your own serving spoon on the day to bring home.
What to bring
  • A smile and a bottle of water.
  • We recommend wearing full-length pants and closed-toe shoes on the day. We will provide fabric "cut resistant" gloves on the day, these offer limited protection against slicing wounds but great care is always required when working with sharp tools.
