"No one in Britain knows more about crafting a spoon from green wood than Barn The Spoon" - The Guardian

Join Barn in Coleford (Forest of Dean) for a day spoon carving.

Learn the ancient skills of spoon carving from Barn himself, and make some beautiful spoons of your own to take home! This workshop acts as a perfect introduction to knife and axe carving, with no previous woodworking experience necessary.

Using fresh wood, and authentic techniques, you will learn all you need to turn a bit of branch or log into a beautiful functional spoon using axes and knives!

We'll focus on carving techniques that will allow you to carve safely with confidence so you can create at home too. Spoon carving is great because the tools required are small and transportable, so you don’t need a workshop or a workbench - you can even do it in your own front room! This workshop is designed to provide you with a strong foundation to create all sorts of carved objects.

We want these workshops to be as inclusive as possible - please let us know what we can do to make it possible for you to join us. We also appreciate that the cost of living crisis has had a big impact; we don’t want this to be an obstacle - if a concessionary rate would help, please contact us.
