Studio Dimble is the creation of Helmut Burri, a furniture maker and educator based in Gippsland, Victoria. Helmut graduated from the Australian National University School of Art, majoring in Woodworking and Furniture Design. Dimble offers intimate group workshops at various venues across Gippsland, as well as one-on-one sessions at its Traralgon studio.  

Our two-day spoon carving workshop is intentionally limited to six participants, allowing you ample opportunity to practice, reflect on, and refine the skills covered at a comfortable pace. Each participant has access to a complete set of green woodworking tools and carving stumps, as well as shavehorses equipped with a dumbhead and/or spoon mule for ease and safety. Starting with a piece of sustainably sourced greenwood enables us to explore more advanced topics, including tree anatomy, cellular structures, species selection, harvesting, riving and hewing with the froe and axe, effective waste management, in addition to using the shavehorse and drawknife, among others.

Whether you're a complete beginner with no prior experience or a more seasoned woodworker, our support and guidance will present you with fresh challenges that are sure to elevate your skills. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with at least one handcrafted object that is sure to impress.If you have any questions or would like to reserve your spot, feel free to call Helmut at 0432 474 551 or visit us at dimble.com.au.
