Deborah Schneebeli Morrell @plotandponder

Having originally trained in fine art Deborah became addicted to spoon carving ( she’s a spoon a day type!) after a long career as an artist/teacher and a writer of craft books.

She is known for investigating and carving a large variety of different wood species and has even realised that a lovely piece of wood can do more than anything to cheer you up! She has a lifelong interest in the value and meaning of making; at Spoonfest 2019 she co-curated the 'Spoons are good for you' exhibition which explored the therapeutic and transformational aspects of spoon carving.

Deborah is also the founder of the Highgate Spoon Union.

Jan Harm ter Brugge @spooncarver

With a background in product design, Jan Harm is a spooncarver, designer and teacher from the Netherlands.

Internationally renowned, Jan Harm teaches throughout Europe and is especially well known for his small sidebranch ‘shcoops’ and systematic way of handcarving mugs, which, he feels, should be a comfortable and natural extension of the hand.
