During last winter I joined a new series of workshops called Take One Tree. Conceived and designed by Jane Gray-Wallis of Spoonsouthwest. We had a marvellous time in @westonbirtarb (Westonbirt Arboretum) using a birch tree to make lots of lovely items.

Birch, alder and apple shrink pot with milk paint

The shrink pot and the eating spoon were two of the items I made. The shrink pot has an alder base and apple top and both pot and spoon have been painted with milk paint.
