Kuksa carving workshop - Carve a wooden cup

Learn to make your own kuksa, a traditional Northern-European carved wooden cup, over this weekend workshop, with experienced carver Douglas Horrell.

Using an axe, hollowing tools, and knives, you’ll carve a unique cup for enjoying your favourite beverage, perfect for the café or camping adventures.

This workshop teaches advanced carving techniques and best suits people who are already comfortable with hand tool use. If you’re new to carving, we recommend starting with one of our spoon-carving workshops.

Please note:

  • All materials and tools are provided.
  • This class is held over two days and is weather-dependent. You must be able to make the rain dates too.
  • A refund will not be given if the first dates are cancelled due to weather, and you cannot make the rain date.
  • This workshop is suitable for adults and only suited to those who can work safely without direct supervision with very sharp hand tools.  
  • Saturday 10 May 2025, 10am to 4pm
