In this woodworking class, you will learn about different knife grips and how to use them safely when shaping the wood. There will be plenty of guidance and safety tips as you work the wood and an experienced teacher on hand to answer any of your questions.

  • 5/5 from Josh Hucklesby, attended Sep 2026: Very good! Teacher was great
  • 5/5 from Bryony Clarkson, attended May 2026: Lovely afternoon. The class was informative and fun, and Tim is a great teacher. It's within the City Farm in Stepney Green which is also a super-fun location. Would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Cheyenne Roberts, attended Mar 2026: Tim was really supportive and positive throughout the workshop process, a great teacher and a great person.

  • 5/5 from Philip Lowrey, attended Jan 2026: Brilliant class! Teacher was great and informative.
  • 5/5 from Marlena Maher, attended Jan 2026: Wonderful class! Tim was an absolute joy, and even though I’d never carved anything before I managed to make a lovely spatula! If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon and learn a new craft, this class is perfect.
  • 5/5 from Egan Isabella, attended Jan 2026: Tim was an excellent teacher and we loved learning something new!!! Thank you Tim!! Managed to make a spatula and butter knife
  • 5/5 from Christabel Jay, attended Jan 2026: The workshop was a good balance of tutoring and autonomy to create your spatula. The tutor, Tim, was engaging, helpful and kept the pace without ir feeling overwhelming.
  • 5/5 from Clemmie Mason, attended Mar 2025: Tim is an excellent teacher. I learned a lot in a short space of time and came away with spatula and a butter knife.
  • 5/5 from Ronan Bryan, attended Dec 2024: This was a remarkably good value, practical and enjoyable course. Tim explained the various knife grips, important safety precautions and gave lots of good advice about wood (sourcing, treatment, oils...), knife sharpening, tool suppliers, etc. On top of that, we each carved 2 spatulas - all in a compact 3-hour course.
  • 5/5 from William Simmonds, attended Jun 2024: Super fun afternoon carving spatulas and butter knife! Tim was brilliant teaching and guiding us into making our utensils better! A great afternoon for a date!
  • 5/5 from Philip Hutchinson, attended Jun 2024: Great class, lots of fun and really friendly. Small group sizes which was nice to chat, and Tim was a really great teacher. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Shanna, attended Apr 2024: Wonderful carving class suitable for complete beginners or potentially amateurs of similar activities (ex. I whittle, but found the wood and knife techniques to be very different for this type of carving!). The class was the right size to allow interaction / questions during the instruction component, and to enable help during practical execution. 3h was just the right length to carve a spatula and potentially a quick butter spreader on the side.
  • 5/5 from Juliette Gauvain, attended Jan 2024: Tim was a great teacher, funny, caring, patient, and knowledgeable. The class was great and it makes me want to come back for more!
  • 5/5 from Sharon Cientanni, attended Oct 2023: Really enjoyed my afternoon at Spatula carving, Tim was great and very patient with us newbies, also had coffee and snacks! Great day, great place, will be coming back.
  • 5/5 from Janita Mistry, attended Oct 2023: Tim is a great teacher and we loved his dry sense humour! The class provides you with all the tools required to carve the spatula and knife. Tim teaches a variety of techniques to make both items and runs through them as many times as needed. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the class and would recommend to anyone, especially if looking for a new hobby. The class is great value for money and in any case being taught by someone who is passionate about what they do is priceless!
  • 5/5 from Georgia, attended Jul 2023: Really nice teacher, lovely venue and had a great time creating my spatula! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Turner, attended Jul 2023: This class was great, set in a beautiful workshop on Stepney City Farm, and led by a really engaging and fun teacher. Everything was clear and explained well, and we all learned a lot. A really satisfying way to spend a day and highly recommended- and conveniently right next to a farm cafe for lunch afterwards. Looking forward to using what I made once it’s oiled!
  • 5/5 from Kern Robinson, attended Jul 2023: Tim is an excellent teacher and the workshop had a great vibe. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into woodcarving or just looking for a fun chill afternoon
  • 5/5 from Kate Pemberton, attended Jan 2023: This was a great class – lots of fun. The teacher was excellent, very clear and friendly. I love the setting on the farm in the middle of the city. We were offered tea or coffee and biscuits too! I am very pleased with my spatula and would enjoy doing further woodworking classes.
  • 5/5 from Donna Blackburn, attended Jan 2023: Loved it and the teacher was brilliant Plus we got tea and biscuits! Can’t wait to do more!
