Spoon Carving Workshop
Saturday 28th June 2025 - Knaresborough
Available spaces
Discover the art of spoon carving, a craft woven into human history for millennia. Wooden spoons, found in Egyptian tombs and cherished across cultures, have long symbolised utility and creativity. Passed down through generations with simple tools like axes and knives, this timeless tradition comes alive in our one-day workshop. Under the expert guidance of Steve Tomlin, a master craftsman with over 15 years of experience, you’ll transform a humble log into a functional, handcrafted spoon - a piece of history you can hold. Steve’s journey in woodworking is as inspiring as the craft itself. With a career sparked by a passion for traditional methods, he’s earned accolades like the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship, which took him to Sweden to train with world-renowned carvers. Known for his patient, hands-on teaching style, Steve has introduced countless beginners to the joys of spoon carving, emphasizing safety and the satisfaction of shaping wood by hand.
