Rosie reviewed: Introduction to Greenwood Spoon Carving- Beginners Cooking Spoon

""10/10 wood carve again" 🤩 Such a brilliant day spent carving this spoon with the wonderful, talented and generous Anita. As a beginner I learnt so many skills at the workshop, working with an axe and carving tools. The outdoor setting at Eccesal Woods was gorgeous too. Highly recommend to beginners, you are in safe hands 💚🌷"

"I bought this course as a Christmas present for my difficult to buy for husband! He thoroughly enjoyed his day and is extremely proud of the mallet he made. He said the he said he would be more than happy to have a go at another course and I think I might join him. "
