spoontown 2026… i’m late posting (as usual,) but i had such a lovely time in Kent catching up with more southerly spoon friends, and making some new ones. i acquired some beautiful handmade things and learned so much! festival season is well and truly here, and so far it has been full of joy and warmth (even without campfires!)

The best part of Spoontown is of course the people, but a nice plus is the loot you can bring home. I am blessed. Thank you all!

Leading workshops all through Friday and Saturday, there was little time for me to carve myself, but a few blanks got roughed out. Some in glorious rowan. ❤️

Just a heads up folks, I won't be at any markets this weekend, so not at Deal Town Saturday Market on the 25th, Cliftonville Farmers Market on Sunday 26th.

As I will be at Spoontown, teaching Spooncarving with Thomas Steven, and sharpening with Emma where needed.

Regular service will be back from next month.

Had a meeting @holdcreativespaces before @pathcarvers Ramsgate, yesterday evening, with the idea of expanding to Pathcarvers Thanet.
With @eldweebio running a monthly group in @northdownstudios Cliftonville, supported by @katierblythe starting in August, and continuing the weekly Tuesday group run by myself in Ramsgate.

Bumped into these two dweebs @dear_susan_ @rbkallday at @bespoked.cc 🫣 Also ran into @eldweebio at the train station. If you ever need to know anything about UK shit hit him up! He’s a knowledge bank of everything and should probably be in the Smithsonian.

Last night's shenanigans at @pathcarvers Ramsgate in @holdcreativespaces, it was @simjoro 's, birthday so he brought cake, and had his day pootling along making his bowl bench (made from garden sleepers) and a cover for his new @strong_way_tools double sided twca cam, and started an end grain bowl (it's on top of the chopping block with a ball of wool in it).
The wool is from @eldweebio who felt to tired to safely carve, so he's knitting some mittens.
The other knives are mine, a modified Mora 105, the bevels were beginning to get a bit convex, after a couple of years of hand sharpening, so it now has a flat over hollow grind, done on the Sorby pro-edge using the @nic_westermann jig, taking about 10 minutes in total, rather than the 30+ mins it would have taken to do by hand, the last knife is the @stoffercraft scorp, that's also had a tickle this one hand sharpening only.
The three simple cooking spoons are from some quick ones probably about 30 minutes each, and the eating spoon is a slowing down spoon, probably took 4 to 5 hours in total.
2 hours including finising cuts, and another 2+ hours laying out and chip carving the handle.

On Tuesday we had our first @Pathcarvers meeting of the new year, at @HoldCreativeSpaces .

Katie collected Christmas trees so made a start on stripping some down to make whisks.
Simon made a butter spreader, Thomas a spoon-horn, and I made a deep soup spoon loosely based on the Norwegian Spoon Design.
