Back by popular demand, Steve from Northern Wood Monkey was at our field in Ovington on Sunday afternoon to teach another six enthusiastic wood carvers to make their very own wooden spoon. The sun was shining so we were pleased to be able to sit in the shade of the ‘Cathedral’ for the session. Steve introduced the attendees to the different carving techniques on a sample piece of wood before being ‘let loose’ on the spoon itself… We were looking out for the blackbird family who have just fledged from the Palace, but it was a family of wrens who greeted the carvers, one even landed on Anna’s shoe!
After two and a half hours of concentration, knowledgeable instruction and encouragement by Steve, there were six happy attendees with their spoons. Thank you to Steve for yet another fantastic session. If you would like to attend a future session to create your own wooden spoon, keep an eye out on our Events page.
