David Yule

Since carving his first spoon in 2013, David has been on a journey exploring Greenwood Crafts.  He taught his first spoon carving workshop in 2019.  Since then he has regularly taught spoon carving, shrink pot making, as well as letter carving and pole lathe courses.

Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is to give folk the know how and confidence to use traditional handtools through demonstration and guided learning to make something functional and beautiful.

What inspires your own work?
Nature is my inspiration as well as the source of my material.  A walk in the woods is always a chance to notice something different.  The community of craftworkers that I am a part of is also inspiring.
