Highland Cup Carving

Highland Cup Carving with Wooden Tom

Create your own useable wooden cup using traditional hand tools. These cups are a delight to use, they don't smash if dropped and feel warm to the touch. This day course will teach you:

• how to use tools such as the axe, Swedish carving knife, Japanese saw and gouge safely

• How to select the right wood for cup making

• Ergonomics of cup and handle shape

• How to dry without splitingt

• How to seal the wood for use in the kitchen

• Painting your cup if you'd like to.

We will start the day learning about wood selection for cup making an ergonomics of a good cup. We will then be shaping the outside of our cups, making sure they are a good fit for our hand. On the second part of the day we will work on the handle and lip of the cup. To get the best experience and finished cup this course is best suited fo people who have done a spoon carving class prior to this one. You can however also do this course without any prior experience.
