  • A wonderfully diverse gathering of makers.

    I’m so enjoying this series!

    Simon has gathered together such a diverse group of individuals who bask in the wonder of the wooden spoon.

    From those drawn in by the technical, revelling in the challenge of perfecting processes and refining finishes to others who have found it to be a pathway of both self expression but also self exploration.

    Each carver shares their own journey and hence their unique approach providing wonderfully diverse insights into the world of the spoon carver.

  • Interesting and invormative

    Simon (the host) does a great job with this podcast. He talks with craft people from around the world about their experiences in spoon and wood carving (plus some green woodworking). The conversations are very relaxed and engaging. Did you know that you can carve a spoon out of a mango tree? I didn’t know that before listening to this podcast:) This podcast is full of great tidbits about carving. Go have a listen, you won’t be disappointed!
