"I think it is important with a child's spoon made from natural materials as wood, bone or horn.A spoon is the first tool you learn to master. It should be warm, friendly, soft and functional. You let the wood absorb your mood and intentions in the process of making the spoon, and I believe that the wood can convey this to the user." Kai Frøsig PedersenDanish spoon maker Kai Frøsig Pedersen has a poetry to his words and craft that sings with love love of nature, love of the materials he is using, love of creativity and love of his family.

Nic Webb
‘I am passionate about working with wood. It is a natural material that is both ethical and sustainable to use. I work with a combination of traditional tools and modern methods to achieve hand crafted objects of contemporary art and design.’
‘I love to work with green wood (fresh living wood) because of its malleability. It can twist and move in the process of seasoning, creating wonderful natural surprises. It allows great freedom in my making and designs can evolve from the unique nature of every piece of wood I choose.’
When I begin carving I look for the differing qualities in each piece, allowing the grain and character to influence the design. Each spoon or bowl evolves to have its own personality, and, when finished, becomes a showcase for the limitless beauty of wood.’ Nic Webb
