About the event

Join us to learn the basics of spoon carving, led by NWT Reserve Assistant Laurie Stearn, and create your own hard-carved spoon to take home with you. We'll provide necessary materials and guide you through the craft process. This creative workshop is suitable for young people aged 16-25 and will take place at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes.

Before you attend the workshop, you will be sent a document with useful information and if you are under 18 you will be sent a parental consent and personal risk assessment form, which we will need you to fill out and return to us in readiness for the session.

Please note that a portaloo will be available, with accessible toilets nearby at Sloughbottom Park.

Please contact us at youthaction@norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk if you have any specific needs or requirements in order to make your experience of this event more enjoyable.
