He was very attentive, calm and super knowledgeable. He taught us how to use the tools safely so we could go away feeling confident to continue our spoon carving journey. Thank you Dan!”

Reviews

  • "A lovely evening spent with Dan learning about spoon carving. Lots of different techniques but nothing overwhelming. Well paced and the time flew by."

  • "It was genuinely brilliant. Dan introduces us to a lot of different techniques, whilst still giving us the creative freedom to choose how we wanted to design and create our spoons. This meant that we all left with unique spoons and a really great baseline knowledge to try again in the future. We felt so inspired that we quickly bought the tools after the workshops and continued to work on our spoons when we got home.. v addictive hobby. Thank you Dan for your kindness, patience and fab teaching approach."

  • "A lovely day learning the ropes. Dan was very patient and knowledgeable - everything was provided. I'll be doing more spoon carving and thanks to Dan's expert tutelage I'll do so confident that I'm not about to lop a finger off. Thanks Dan."

  • "A relaxed, highly informative and enjoyable introduction to spoon carving from Dan Howey I came away with knowledge and practical experience of different cutting and shaping techniques required to take a blank to a spoon, and even though I didn't leave with a completed item I feel confident in my ability to safely complete the task in my own time."
