About Barn The Spoon

Barnaby Carder aka Barn the Spoon is a contemporary crafter who specializes in household treen, small handmade functional objects made of wood. A woodwork obsessive for over 25 years, he set up his famous East London shop and craft school in 2012, and is the co-founder of Spoonfest, the largest spoon festival in the world. Barn is internationally recognised for his work popularising the use of axes and knives to carve green wood, a movement that is gaining momentum, and he is a strong voice in the debate for progressive ways for humans to co exist with our beautiful planet - focusing on harmonious small scale woodland management and using craft as therapy. www.barntthespoon.com @barnthespoon
