A Slower Way
To Shape Timber

Join small group wood carving workshops on the NSW South Coast. Learn to carve spoons, bowls, butter knives and simple timber objects using hand tools.

​

I also create handmade timber objects and offer a small selection of carving tools.


Slow made, beginner friendly and designed to be enjoyed

Handmade Timber
Objects

I create handmade timber objects from reclaimed wood, shaped by hand and guided by the material.

Each piece is one of a kind — simple, tactile and made to be used, or simply held onto

Why Wood Carving?

Wood carving is something people have always done — shaping tools, objects and small pieces of life from the timber around them.

​

It slows you down in a way not much else does. Quiet, focused, and deeply satisfying.

 

It’s also changed the way I work and live.

Wood Carving
Workshops

Join a beginner-friendly wood carving workshop on the NSW South Coast or in Sydney.

​

A unique, hands-on experience for those looking for things to do on the South Coast or a creative workshop in Sydney.

​

Learn to carve spoons, butter knives and simple timber objects using hand tools — no experience needed.

​

Small groups, all tools provided, and a relaxed, hands-on approach.

Rachel sells carving kits to use at home and this image shows the wooden blank spoon shape to be carved, along with the finished spoon, Japanese carving knife and spoon carving gouge.

Each piece is one of a kind, shaped slowly from reclaimed timber.

Join the mailing list for workshop dates, new releases and quiet updates from the studio.
