Enjoy slowing down with Bethan of Joy House Creations in this 3 part beginners workshop. You’ll learn safe cutting techniques with sloyd and curved knives as you are guided through the slow process of creating your own wooden cooking spatula and spoon to use in your kitchen every day. It’s such a great feeling being able to cook with something that you made with your own hands and just a couple of simple tools!

Week one covers all you need to know about using a straight (Sloyd) knife safely as we make our spatulas from some wood blanks.

In Week two, we’ll recap the skills of the sloyd as we begin our spoons, and learn how to use a curved knife (Twca Cam) for the bowls of the spoons.

We’ll finish off the carving in Week three, as well as having the chance to decorate our utensils with coloured milk paint and apply a food safe salve of beeswax and mineral oil to keep them protected as we take them home to use.

This course is £75 for 3 taught sessions on weekly Mondays (8th November (then a one week break) 22th November & 29th November)

This workshop is suitable for age 16+ and the cost includes all of your materials and refreshments will be included during the sessions

All of the wood is sourced sustainably from fallen trees near and far - at Joy House Creations, we love our planet and only want to create beauty from the bits nature gives freely!
