The Sloyd Knife is an essential wood carving and whittling tool. This workshop will take you through the process of creating your own knife that you can use in your carving adventures. You'll be shaping a wooden handle to suit your hand/grip and learn how to fix a pre-made approximately 60mm sloyd knife blade into the handle. The beautiful blades we will be using have been made in Ukraine by Phurba Knife Company. No prior woodworking experience necessary. This workshop provides a great opportunity to begin a woodworking journey of discovery. Even if you are a seasoned woodworker, there are always new things to learn & experience. There's nothing like using a whittling knife you have made yourself! Open to people of any gender from anywhere in Perth, young and old, minimum age 12. Kids must be accompanied by a participating paid up adult. This could be a great experience to share with your offspring. Maximum number of workshop participants is 8.

Who wants a nasty plastic Chopping Board in the kitchen?! So you can eat more microplastics and harbour more bacteria. Yuk. It is much nicer to have a real wooden one. Even better when you have made it yourself! Don't be fooled either by the so-called "greener" Bamboo ones, which are often full of formaldehyde glue (to hold all the little bamboo strips together). In this wonderful workshop you will make your own custom Chopping Board from the lovely large pieces of real wood available. You can individualise it further by embellishing it with simple relief carving motifs, pyrography, etc. We will show you how! Then you will coat your completed board with a nice food-safe oil. Serve your food on it and you have a lovely Serving Platter! Very trendy. Along the way you will learn about different woods, their properties, and how to work it with an assortment of traditional hand tools. Open to men and women from anywhere in Perth, young and old, minimum age 12. Kids must be accompanied by a participating paid up adult. This could be a great experience to share with your offspring.
