Welcome to a day of creative mindfulness with David and Michelle of Phoenix Creations. In their small studio tucked away just two minutes from Cygnet's main street, David will share his talent, by guiding you through the steps of making a wooden spoon from scratch. With your very own clever hands, you will use recycled vintage or green timber straight from a tree, to create your spoon.

All are welcome, from absolute beginners to those wishing to hone their craft. You will work alone in a private workshop or can work with up to 4 others- family and friends or slot into a group of singles and make new friends. Perfect for corporate team building too!

Each workshop runs from 10 am-3 pm (Private 10-4 pm) and includes tuition, timber to carve, use of all tools and a delicious morning tea. A break is taken for lunch, so bring your own or head down to one of the charming cafes in Cygnet.

Workshops are run by demand every day and can be booked online, at the studio or by phone. Upcoming workshops are also announced on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Warning: Spoon Carving is Addictive!
