Example Cup and Spoon

Description

Ever fancied learning how to carve your own tea-spoon and wooden cup to hold your morning espresso, an evening tipple or anything in between? If so, why not come join Tim Graham for a day of steadily removing wood chips at Grow Wilder in Frenchay? The course will take place in the Tree to Treen workshop, a timber-famed open-sided barn surrounded by the fields and trees of an Avon Wildlife Nature Reserve. This is the perfect project for all levels of woodworker including beginners, requiring only a few simple tools to shape the wood. All tools and timber will be provided plus a small pot of a oil and beeswax blend to seal the cup and spoon when they're fully dry. You’ll go through: - Material selection and sourcing. - How to use the required sharp tools safely and effectively. - Rough hollowing of your cup. - Inside and outside refinement of the surface. - Notes on how to dry your cup and apply the finish to seal it. - Guidance on carving a simple tea-spoon. - Tips on buying and maintaining your own tools. Please note that there needs to be a minimum of four guests for this course to go ahead. If the minimum number of bookings is not reached the course may be cancelled or re-scheduled at your host's discretion.

Hetty reviewed: Spoon Carving with Rosie Mockford

"A very enjoyable day in surprisingly charming venue. Clear and helpful teaching in a very encouraging atmosphere. Also a very productive day that was well planned. A great experience for beginners into the world of the wood people. Rosie was a sensitive, caring teacher with a special ability to instruct a mixed group and everyone managed to create a characterful wooden utensil. Thanks"

Tree to Treen responded:

"Thanks so much Hetty, what a lovely review. Glad you had an enjoyable day!"

Anne Rutter reviewed: Spoon Carving with Rosie Mockford

"Trying out a new skill in a relaxed, inclusive group and having something to show off at the end of the day. Rosie is a great teacher. Her explanations and demonstrations are clear, she keeps time well and is very inclusive and encouraging."

Paul Stollery reviewed: Spoon Carving with Rosie Mockford

"It was brilliant. The teacher was great, the hands on activity was brilliant. I *loved* the setting, too. A lot of the time, you get this sort of stuff being run out of a grey council building or something like that. This was like some sort of off grid paradise. I loved it."
