Sophie reviewed: Spoon carving taster session

"Dave was not only a very patient and skilled teacher, but also good company. Do go if you want a calm and creative afternoon where you go home with a nice spoon and the skills to make more! "

Tom Jackson reviewed: Spoon carving taster session

"My brother in law and I had an evening class session with Dave, and had an absoluely fabulous time. Dave is an expert teacher, a great craftsman and a lovely guy to spend time with. I had no idea that we'd be making spoons starting with a lump of wood and an axe, but Dave guided us through the process and we soon felt very relaxed rough cutting the wood down to the spoon outline before finsihing with wood knives. A really lovely way to spend an evening and we both came away feeling justifiably proud of what we'd acheived and our finished spoons!"

Woodwyrm responded:

"Cheers Tom, it was great to finally teach you both! All the best, Dave"

Sharron reviewed: Spoon carving taster session

"Had a lovely afternoon making our wooden spoons. Just me and my dad with excellent tuition from Dave. Very impressed we managed to make spoons using an axe and knives. It was very relaxing as you focus so much on what you are doing. Learned about different techniques, woods etc and think dad has ordered some knives to have a go already! Great afternoon."

Woodwyrm responded:

"Many thanks Sharron, it was a pleasure to meet you both."

Rachel reviewed: Spoon carving taster session

"Me and dad had a great time on Dave’s spoon carving workshop. I was totally new to spoon carving and had never held an axe before, so really happy that under Dave’s instruction I ended up with a spoon! He was very patient and accommodating - a great course"
