Most group activities are just there to tick a box. Right now, everything is fast, digital, and noisy. People spend their days reacting instead of focusing. At some point, it catches up. Spoon carving does the opposite. You sit down, take a piece of wood, and work it into something useful. It requires attention. You can’t rush it, and you can’t fake it. After a few minutes, the room changes—people slow down, focus, and start talking without forcing it. We don’t overcomplicate it. We show you how to use the tools safely and let you get on with it. No scripts, no gimmicks. It works just as well for teams, friends, families, or anyone who wants to do something real for a few hours. You leave with a spoon. More importantly, you leave feeling like your brain actually switched off for a bit.

Spend an evening or afternoon with your friends and family making a stunning bud vase out of noble wood. In this session you will discover what a wood workshop looks like from the inside, you will get to use some tools and basic machines with the guidance of our experienced intructors. You select an initially uninteresting piece of wood that needs to be processed into a presentable product via using tools and machines, ending with the finishing products to put on for preserving the surface. The result is very satisfying. We recommend this activity for those who'd like to spend some time differently tapping into their creative spirit.

PLEASE NOTE: 1) THIS IS A FOUR SESSION COURSE. When booking, you will only see the starting date. Please check the full schedule before signing up. 2) FOR THIS COURSE, WOOD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. This is due to large variations in cost depending on board size, thickness, and type of wood. You will be given a large choice of woods to select from and the freedom to define your board size, within the machines' limits. The material cost can range anywhere between 20 chf for smaller boards with more affordable woods to 100 chf for larger boards in expensive woods.
