Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

About this workshop
 
Want to discover the fascinating craft of spoon carving? Join Eli Beke of Wedge and Edge Woodcraft and learn the basics of sharpening tools, carving with an axe and carving safely with small hand tools.
 In this full-day workshop, we will be splitting a log of wood into a spoon-sized billet and then working with hand tools such as an axe, a hook knife, a straight carving knife and a gouge to learn the skills to carve a cooking spoon from a fresh piece of green wood.
 You will learn how to coax the spoon you design or template from the green timber, chip by chip, with expert teaching from your spoon carving teacher Eli. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and perfect the basics of this craft so that you can go on to carve more!
 By the end of this workshop, you will have your own hand-carved cooking spoon ready to take home.

Snacks, lunch, water bottle, notepad and pen

Workshop appropriate - closed toe shoes, no hanging jewellery, hair tied back

All instruction, tools and materials provided

You will learn about the features of different types of spinning wheels, how to repair and care for your own, and bring it back to full productivity.
