Spoon Carving and Supper
A gentle and relaxed introduction to greenwood carving, learn how to carve a spoon or if you're feeling adventurous a spatula or butter knife. Led by Fay Jones, The Woodland Haberdasher and Nick Gosman, founder of The Gosman Spoon Company. Followed by a woodfire supper around the campfire cooked by Judith Mobbs, resident cook at Fire and Feast.
Fay and Nick will guide you through the process of materials selection, design, carving and finishing techniques, after care and the use of various tools including axes, draw knives and shave horses. You will be able to choose the style of spoon or wooden cooking/eating implement that you wish to create, crank or straight handled, large or small, depending on your wishes.
As your carved creations take shape, Judith, the resident cook at Fire and Feast, will light the woodfire and prepare a tasty two course supper cooked on wood for the group to enjoy together, creating a relaxed and convivial end to your Sunday afternoon. There will be time for questions and conversations and an opportunity to savour the beautiful Suffolk countryside as you carve and dine. Refreshments will be provided at the start and during the afternoon. If the weather is wet we will be inside the Fire and Feast barn.
Your half day experience will include:
- Freshly made hot / cold drinks and a sweet treat mid afternoon
- Tuition throughout the afternoon from our experienced tutors
- All equipment, tools and materials to create your spoon
- Two course campfire supper with a selection of drinks
- Your spoon / implement to take home at the end of the afternoon
