APPRENTICE!

Every now and then I get an urge to shout this out in the hope some Spoonlet will come scurrying along , usually when i'm getting cramp in my neck and need a shoulder rub or my knife needs sharpening and I don't want to get my hands dirty. It certainly would be nice to have some help around the place and someone who has to listen to me talk obsessively about spoons all the time.

You'd need to be someone who is planning on carving spoons professionally, someone who will work very hard at being a good carver, you need to have a love of trees and wood, you need to want to make useful spoons, you need to have a good awareness of what you think is beautiful. You should be able to hammer a nail without hitting your thumb every time, and good at drawing or neat handwriting will also help you.

I am looking for someone to come to me for a maximum of 3 days a week to work in exchange for learning, I will not be paying your national insurance etc but there will be perks. This role can be flexible for you as long as you can be flexible too.
