SpoonTown
What Is Spoon Town?
Join us for a long Summer weekend of Camping, Carving and Learning
Spoontown will have all you need to cut away from the world for 4 days and 3 nights.
Enjoy all things related to spoon carving and greenwood crafts such as Knife work, Axe techniques, Decoration techniques, Leatherwork, Pole lathe bowl turning and much, much more.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, intermediate, or seasoned professional
Spoontown will have something for you to explore
Limited to 200 places, this exclusive outdoor event will be for ticket holders only.
A number of one day and half day courses will be available during the event. These may be purchased directly from the instructor on Thursday evening.
Pretown is an intense two and a half day fully immersive learning experience which will be running before the main Spoontown event, where a select group of skilled spoon carvers, bowl turners and knife makers will pass their extensive knowledge to small groups of students
Tickets will be available for either event or a combined ticket.
