Come and learn the joy of carving wood with your own hands!

We will work with greenwood, which means wood that is fresh, soft and easy to carve. You will have access to wood and different kinds of tools so you can experiment and start your own project, a spoon, fork, little bowl…

In this full day version we’ll have time to complete a project, so you’ll go back home with a spoon that you carved and ready to dry. We will also see the very important process of sharpening the tools.
