Spatula Carving

Perhaps one of the most useful kitchen utensils is the humble spatula. So why not create something that is beautiful and bespoke? Axes, draw knives, knife work all combine in the art of spatula carving.

Getting to grips with the draw knife and shave horse and experimenting with different techniques and knife grasps. A truly satisfying day starting from a log of locally harvested wood, splitting it down and shaping it into a spatula with the aim of function and beauty all in the wonderful calm surroundings of National Trust Footprint.

I'd like to thank you for a lovely weekend! We all learnt a lot over the course of the two days; from instruction, observation and from being given space and time to try things for ourselves. Thank you.
