Spooncarving for Beginners with Ana Gomes & Sílvio Soares

Sign up for this course and pay in full.

In this Spooncarving for Beginners workshop, participants will make their own wooden spoons by hand, as well as other items, under the guidance of Ana and Silvio. It is an introduction to the art and techniques of carving green wood and creating useful objects that combine beauty and functionality, always valuing the natural material as the key element in the creative process.

Cerdeira offers the perfect environment to work with wood and enjoy the surrounding nature over two days! We will begin with a walk through the village to know and identify the trees most suitable for carving, and collect this material to work on in the studio. You’ll learn about carving techniques, hand tools used, and the different properties and possibilities of the available woods.

Additionally, various decoration techniques (kolrosing, chip carving, painting, and baking), finishing options, and care for wooden objects will also be shared.
