Family Whittling Workshop 9yrs+

Please take note of the location for the course you are booking. We run these courses at both our workshops (at Abney Park in Stoke Newington and at Hackney City Farm). It will say on the booking page which venue that particular course is taking place at.

Spend some time together learning safe whittling skills. This workshop is for children and young people (aged 9-18) with an accompanying adult to learn whittling together.

Please note - Each ticket admits 1 Adult and 1 Child together

Each child must be accompanied by an adult who is willing to supervise and work with them at all times.

Using locally grown green wood we'll practice safe carving knife grips and make wands, wooden knives, marshmallow forks and other small projects.

For families that want to start whittling at home, this is great introduction for both adults and children to learn how to work safely with knives. We recommend that parents join this course so that they can keep their child safe when whittling at home and be confident in their child's abilities to work with knives and wood.

To make our family courses accessible to as many people as possible we have launched a 'Pay it Forward' ticket. This enables you to book a space for your own family whilst making a donation to fund a space for a family on a low income.
