We'll start with some freshly cut small logs and by the end of the day have turned them into a Swedish style butter knife that you can take home with you. 

We'll cover  how to carve basic shapes and and learn how to hold and use the knife in several different techniques and grips.  

Suitable for complete beginners. No prior experience is needed in this friendly atmosphere. All equipment you need will be provided on the day.

Tea and coffee will be available all day from the camp kettle!

This course is aimed at ages 16+.
