With around 30 years experience of training people and working in conservation with trees and green wood work, you will be sure to learn more than just the basics of spoon carving and whittling. Having learnt the professional and safe carving techniques from some of the best out there, I will pass on these skills so that you can also carve safely and with confidence at home, or improve on your technique.

Martin reviewed: VIP 1-2-1 spoon carving day.

"Having already carved spoons for a year or two I was looking for a day that dealt with all of the things that I find more difficult. Alan addressed them all (and more) and I am now in the process of introducing them all into my practice. It was an enjoyable, interesting and useful day. Alan is a good teacher (and his wife is an excellent baker!). Thanks for a great day!"

"Really excellent day spent with Alan in his beautiful home learning how to carve a spoon from a log. Clear, concise instructions given throughout with plenty of time spent on techniques to ensure effective and safe carving. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in spoon carving or whittling in general. "

"I had a great day carving my first spoon. The pace was ideal with enough time to feel as if I had achieved something worthwhile by the end. Alan is a welcoming and friendly instructor and we had lovely home cooked food at regular intervals throughout the day! Absolutely recommended- Alan knows his stuff and can help anyone to create a great spoon."

"I brought my 9 years old son, and two of his friends (9 and 10) on Alan's spoon carving course, and we all had a great time. Alan is a really good, clear and patient teacher - very good at helping the boys use the axes and knives safely. The boys were very proud of their finished spoons and new skills. And the great cooking and baking for snacks and lunch was a definite highlight! Highly recommended!"
