Spoon Carving Workshop with Grain & Not

About Grain & Knot

The wooden goods at Grain & Knot are lovingly hand-crafted by Sophie in her home studio.
In the Summer of 2013, Sophie attended a spoon carving and bushcraft workshop in woodland in the beautiful British countryside. Inspired by the techniques learnt, she returned home the very next day with an axe, much to her family’s amusement. After giving some spoons away as gifts, friends and family urged her to pursue this avenue and to create a brand for her woodworking. A few cut fingers and splinters later Grain and Knot was born.

Loving spoon carving so much, Sophie would do it in any spare moment that she had. In the Spring of 2014 Sophie left her position in trend forecasting and took the opportunity to take Grain and Knot to the next level.

After completing the Prince’s Trust Enterprise Scheme, Sophie is now working as a full time woodworker, and is fully supported by the Prince’s Trust.

Grain and Knot was born from a love of nature, exploration and the need for purpose in creation. It is beautifully tactile, fully functional wooden kitchenware, with each item made from reclaimed timber.
