This workshop will be a creative, active experience and will give those attending the skills, knowledge, and ideas to take away and practice whittling in their own sessions.

An introduction to Whittling is the perfect opportunity for anybody who maybe interested in whittling, including teachers and teaching assistants of all settings, to upskill their tool-use and knife work in particular.

Passing over the trust and responsibility to facilitate whittling with learners has numerous benefits which are transferable to other areas of learning; confidence, resilience, promoting creative minds, mindfulness and self-regulation, reflectiveness….the list goes on.

Whilst this course has been designed with educators in mind, it is a fantastic introduction to whittling for anyone who would like to learn some new skills and grow in confidence with their axe and knife work.

Drawing from experience of running Forest School sessions for a diverse range of learners across all ages, this course will give insight into achievable projects, utilising safe use of a range of hand-tools. Run by our resident craftsperson and expert Spoon-carver Nick Murphy, supported by our Head Trainer Neil Martin, this is a day not to be missed out upon.

What others had to say...

“That’s amazing thank you! I’d like to give a massive thank you to you and the team for being so awesome and making the training so much fun. I’ve never been happier than I am now in my new career!”

Emma Fielding, March 2022

“Thank you so much. I have really enjoyed my time with The Outdoors Group very much. The new skills and confidence I have acquired have given me a new zest for learning so much more. I am seriously looking forward to sharing and growing in knowledge alongside the children I will teach. I found the teaching within The Outdoors Group empowering and creative, I now have a job that I am truly excited about and I have to pinch myself as it doesn’t feel real.”

Tracie Carpenter, 2019

“I would like to acknowledge just how wonderful I thought the course was that I went on. Annie and Neil were two of the warmest, friendliest and professional trainers I’ve had the pleasure to meet. From day one they made us feel very welcome and put us at ease. They were always happy to explain anything that you might be having trouble with. Even if the questions were repetitive. Always with a smile was their approach which was reassuring for everyone. They have a rare quality of establishing a great connection with all participants from the get go. I look forward to completing the coursework and putting into action the skills we have learnt from them both. It was a fantastic experience that I feel I have had the privilege to be part of. The woods there is a special place and you leave with special memories that will last a lifetime.”
