I am a spoon carver from Co. Limerick, Ireland. My love for spoon carving and green woodwork began around 6 years ago and I moved to St. John’s in 2019 to focus on craft full time. After spending the last 8 years as a historic building surveyor in Ireland, I have gained an enormous respect for all traditional crafts, particularly tool making and green woodwork. My work focuses on making simple, functional and beautiful hand carved wooden spoons and bowls.
