Podcasts about spoon carving

What has worked well, what I've changed

On episode 13 I talk to Aaron Garrett (@aaron.garrett.uk).Aaron grew up in Uk with an interest in bush craft and when he saw a Spoon Carving demonstration on YouTube he knew it was something he wanted to try. Since carving his first spoon at the end of 2018 he has taught himself how to carve beautiful scoops and spoons which he sometimes sells through his Instagram.He makes really cool and unique scoops that are a recognizable shape of his as well as many other Spoons shapes and styles.Aaron has appeared on the Zed Outdoors YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/zedoutdoors) where he shows his process of carving a scoop  and a spoon from log to finish Spoon. This is where I found out about him and I can highly recommend this as a great resource for people wanting to learn more about the process. In this episode we talked about decorating spoons, the carving process, teaching and much more. It's always a pleasure for me to meet my guests and do these podcasts, I hope you enjoy listening. Hosted by Simon Pouly @rootsspoons (info.rootsspoons@gmail.com)Editing and Producing: Julia Pouly Music: Pixabay

On episode 12 my guest is Ricky Dey @t_u_t_t_o___ . Ricky is a fellow kiwi and lives in the Wairarapa on the North Island of New Zealand. Ricky started caving as a way to cope with the grief after losing loved ones. It seems that for many of us it is not just about the spoons but the process of carving and creating. It can offer us comfort, meaning and community. We talk about his life growing up in NewZealand, discovering spoon carving and why it is something he can imagine growing and enjoying for many years to come. Hosted by Simon Pouly @rootsspoons (info.rootsspoons@gmail.com)Editing and Producing: Julia Pouly Music: Pixabay

Thinking of myself as an athlete, what is the best way to improve my performance and protect myself from injury?

This week I'm joined by Flora Arbuthnott from www.plantsandcolour.co.uk.Having met Flora a few years ago, I was keen for her to be a guest on the podcast. We discuss the many similarities between her practices of creating colour from plants and my practice of building homes, from plants. Flora also goes through the process of extracting some colour from a flower so that you can try it at home.   Flora's Bio: I make dyes, inks, and paints out of plants for drawing, painting, printing, and dyeing textiles and paper. I explore wild and cultivated plants to produce a variety of vibrant colours. Observing and learning from the plants that grow around us, I came to this practice through a desire to connect with the land where I live. Plants such as meadowsweet and buddleia flowers, oak galls, and dock roots, or growing dye plants in my garden such as madder, woad, and coreopsis.

Episode #21 of the Ground Shots Podcast This episode of the Ground Shots Podcast features a conversation with Alicia Toldi, who currently lived in Oakland, California. Alicia co-runs Piney Wood Atlas.  According to their website:  "Piney Wood Atlas is a collaborative project between citizen artists Alicia Toldi and Carolina Porras and was formed out of a desire to help spread the word about the magical world of artist residencies. Through a series of regional road trips, we travel across the country unearthing small, emerging and unconventional artist residencies. Visiting is essential in absorbing the atmosphere, embedding into the space as if we were residents ourselves. We share meals, conversations and experiences with facilitators and artists. So far, we have visited around 45 residencies across 15 states and plan to visit the whole country in the next two years, representing alternative residencies through annually printed regional guidebooks, online content, and workshops. Alternative residencies offer individual character, personalized experiences and room to experiment. Featuring these kinds of spaces allows us to connect creative thinkers with places where they can become visionaries, unlocking fresh ideas that only come from being in a new environment, and thus engaging in a symbiotic relationship between the artist, the residency locale and the outside world. Piney Wood Atlas' intention is to bridge the gap between residency databases and word-of-mouth, ensuring that attending a residency is an attainable, productive, and fun adventure for all."   We did this interview in Alicia's art studio in Oakland, California this past Spring after we both completed a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center in Occidental, California. I first met Alicia when I stumbled upon Piney Wood Atlas online. We have communicated online about the project over the past couple years and both decided to sign up for the Spring PDC at OAEC without realizing the other had also. It was a sweet surprise to finally meet Alicia. She hosted me a bunch this Spring as I came through the Bay area for interviews and meet-ups with folks. I appreciated being welcomed by Alicia and her partner and able to fit my big truck camper home in her tiny driveway by the freeway in the heart of Oakland.     In this conversation with Alicia, we talk about:   a little bit of the story of how Alicia co-found Piney Wood Atlas   the nature of artist residencies and how they can be designed in many ways, including their ability to be accessible to everyone   some of Alicia's favorite residencies featured in the PWA zines. So far the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest zines are out, and the Midwest themed zine will be out soon   adventures in road-tripping for the PWA project   Alicia's personal story of living in different places as an artist on the east and west coasts, and coming back home to the Bay area   a few of our post-permaculture training reflections   Alicia's relationship with spoon carving and making things   We're giving away one copy of the Piney Woods Atlas 'Southwest' zine to a Ground Shots Project Patreon subscriber.

We talk specifically about spoons and chairs of which Dave is an exceptionally talented maker.We start off with some tool chat, then find out what a ‘Bodger’ is and how the term has been changed over the year. There is a fair amount of spoon carving chat, as well as a lot about chairs and Dave’s particular style.A theme we talk a lot on is the benefits gained by concentrating on something that uses your hands and brain. How it calms the brain and allows you to think.In this chat with chairmaker and spoon carver Dave Cockroft we discuss the simple hidden pleasures of working with your hands.
