Spoon Carving Conversations

In episode 3 my guest is Jaz Auden (@jazhandcrafts). Originally from England, he recently located to the South West of France.

His work caught my eye with his varied and creative style. Using colour and texture Jaz creates beautiful, one of a kind spoons and wood wear.

We start our conversation talking about his endeavor to build a lathe. He mentions Owen Thomas (@owenthomaswoodcraft) and his tutorial on building one on https://www.owenthomaswoodcraft.com/pole-lathe-plans.

We also cover the sourcing of wood, his spoon carving process, painting and dyeing spoons among other things.

Jaz's partner Lydia (@reaptextiles) creates tool rolls and other functional items from repurposed fabrics. You can learn more about both of them and their work on their website https://jazhandcrafts.com.

In episode 2 my guest is Susanne, known on instagram as @loeffel.suse. She is located in Zurich, Switzerland.

We talk about how she found spoon carving and how it helped her feel joy again after dealing with depression. Our conversation covers sharing one's work and connecting with other carvers online, what inspires her creative style and what she does with her finished spoons.

Susanne mentions the Rise Up & Carve initiative, a daily Virtual Spoon Carving Gathering using the Zoom video conferencing app initiated by US spoon carver Chuck Trella on Feb 27, 2019 (http://www.riseupandcarve.com).

Episode 1 of the Spoon Carving conversations, where I talk to spoon carvers around the world. 

Today's guest is Julian Heins (@feral.spoons). He lives near Hamburg in Germany where I am also currently living. We have carved together once before and will hopefully do so again as we go into spring. He only started out about 9 months ago, but become instantly passionate about creating wooden spoons.

We talk about our favorite spots to carve, how we started out and how spoon carving impacts our view of the world, where we get our wood and much more.
