Carve Your Own Beginners Welsh Love Spoon (5hrs, incl. 1hr lunch break)
Woodland Crafting for Well-being: Carve, Create & Connect with Nature
Step away from the modern world and into the timeless art of wood carving, a craft as ancient as the trees themselves. Join us in the Creative Space of Nexus Spaces Holywell, where the rhythmic act of carving—within a small group of 5 —will slow your thoughts, deepen your focus, and reconnect you with the natural world.
Guided by Andi, an expert woodcraft teacher and heritage artisan, you’ll not only learn traditional carving skills but also experience the calming, meditative benefits of working with wood—just as our ancestors did.
Why Carve?
🔸 Ground yourself in nature – Feel the grain of the wood and immerse yourself in mindful creation.
🔸 Improve mental well-being – The slow, repetitive motion of carving reduces stress, enhances focus, and promotes relaxation.
🔸 Connect with heritage – These are the skills of our ancestors, a link to a time when crafting by hand was essential for survival, expression, and community.
🔸 Learn a valuable, hands-on skill – Carving strengthens patience, dexterity, and problem-solving, offering a deep sense of accomplishment.
All materials and tools are provided, and hot drinks are included. Bring your own packed lunch or explore the beautiful, historic town of Holywell and cafes in your lunch hour.
