Carve a Spatula Workshop
During this workshop, Stephen Ryan from Green Woodwork Ireland will teach you the skills needed to whittle wood.
- Booking essential
Knife carving otherwise known as whittling is one of the most accessible and enjoyable woodcrafts you can experience. During the class, participants will use traditional tools to shape green [unseasoned] wood. The beauty of green wood lies in its ability to be shaped easily as it is soft and easily worked with hand tools. During this workshop, Stephen Ryan from Green Woodwork Ireland will teach you the skills needed to whittle wood. Each participant will learn axe and knife carving skills to produce their own spatula from locally sourced, freshly cut wood.
