The morning
On arrival to the woodland camp, we'll get you orientated with the site. We'll take a short walk through the woodland and begin to open your mind to the different identifying features of different species of trees. We'll discuss what makes the wood suitable for carving, which woods work better for which projects, and we'll show you sustainable harvesting methods.
Late morning and through the afternoon
You will learn how to select and collect the right wood in its raw state, split and rough out a blank and then proceed to carve a spoon which you will be able to take home with you.
We will also recommend further carving projects and if time allows produce other working kitchen utensils such as long handle spoons and spatula, to practice your new found skills.
