Wooden Spoon Carving Workshop With Chris Pothof

Wooden Spoon Carving Workshop With Chris Pothof!

Experience the art of wooden spoon carving firsthand in our workshop led by artist Chris Pothof. Located in the heart of Sydney's vibrant inner west at Made By Me Workshop in St Peters, join us for an immersive Introduction to Wood Carving.

Learn the essentials of crafting a wooden cooking spoon from a prepared spoon blank. Chris will guide you through the safe and efficient use of wood carving knives and tools, along with tips for sourcing and processing greenwood.

Discover the simplicity and accessibility of spoon carving, offering not just a practical outcome, but a journey into mindfulness, community, and problem-solving.

Suitable for ages 12 and over, no prior experience is necessary. All tools and materials will be provided but if you already have your own tools, we recommend bringing them along.

For your safety, we require all participants to wear fully enclosed shoes and clothing that covers the legs. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a participating adult and consent to their use of sharp tools.

At Made By Me Workshop we believe craft is as much about creativity as it is about connection, in our workshops you have the opportunity to meet new friends, share a few stories, laugh with each other and simply enjoy some time out for yourself. We have coffee and tea making facilities as well as a few snacks to sustain you through the workshop but if you prefer barista-made coffee, you can grab one from Aslan Cafe, just a short stroll away.

Cancellation Policy: Due to the limited number of spaces for workshops, all bookings are final and strictly non refundable. We do not refund classes but you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. Since Chris is a special guest teacher it is not possible to cancel or reschedule this workshop, you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can not make it on the day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform you and allow you to get a full refund or reschedule.
