Spoon Carving

Hausgemacht takes you into the world of woodcarving. You will receive the rough basic shape of a spoon, spatula, or butter knife. We will then get to work with that. You will learn more about different types of wood, the use of the two basic woodcarving knives and the associated carving techniques, and how to beautifully finish your carving.

You will go home with a handmade spoon, spatula, or butter knife.

Hausgemacht is a mobile haven for handiwork, craftsmanship, and creative play in Belgium. “We want to get people of all walks of life ‘out of the head, into the hands.’ Because more than ever, we need to reconnect with ourselves, natural materials, and each other.

We work with residual streams as much as possible because they exist and because Mother Earth already has enough to swallow. We believe that making unique and sustainable items with our hands can contribute to a better world and happier people.” Adults can get to work in the studio with various craft techniques such as woodcarving, glasswork, textile processing, and printing techniques.

For children, there is a range of basic play materials made from natural and recycled materials. This encourages children to engage in creative play, allowing them to let their imagination run wild. In creative workshops, they are introduced to upcycling and natural materials through play. They always start from handiwork and craft techniques.
