Discover how to:

- Use a spoke shave to create your own handle design and

- A curved carving tool to make the bowl of the spoon.

- Enjoy the mindful nature of shaving the wood using the spoke shave. It’s very therapeutic and you can achieve a relaxing state of flow.

At the end of the session, you will have created a beautiful serving spoon/spatula or “spoontula” to be proud of!
