Discover the fascinating history and traditional craftsmanship of wooden spoon carving at the Episkopi Environmental Centre.

Participants will learn how these everyday objects have evolved over time, which types of wood were traditionally used, and how local craftspeople continue to preserve these techniques today.

The presentation will feature a selection of traditional carving tools and handcrafted wooden objects.

Following the presentation, adults can participate in an outdoor, hands-on workshop, creating their own wooden spoon, butter knife or small bowl using sustainably sourced local wood and traditional hand tools.
