Saturday workshop:
Carve a spoon from a tree
Come along to an awesome day of relaxation where you will learn how to make your own hand carved wooden spoon straight from a tree. It’s all about the here and the now; just you, the wood, a simple knife and an emerging spoon: Spoonfulness!

Join us for a day of happy slowness š
