Event Information

This workshop is a fantastic introduction to wood carving, in the beautiful setting of Tudor House and Garden.

You will learn how to use an axe, a knife and a crook knife to shape a block of green wood. Led by professional sculptor and woodcarver Chris Cudlip, you will be guided through the step-by-step process of making an authentic Tudor soup spoon . All materials and tools are provided and no previous experience is necessary.
