Father and son handcarving lovespoons together.Welsh lovespoons, an evolving tradition…
Lovespoons vary greatly in their intricacy, from the plain and simple to the elaborate and complicated but all of our lovespoons have a story to tell. The Welsh lovespoon has shown an ability to adapt and evolve. For the maker it can cater for greatly varied ability levels and the recipient can have greatly varied tastes regarding style and design. A simple heart and bowl design can be as meaningful to the recipient as one that has numerous hours of toil. The making of a lovespoon can give true meaning to the idea of a labour of love. Styles used when designing a lovespoon can be equally diverse, from traditional, to Celtic, to more modern. Unlike other areas of modern life few rules are needed and applied when it comes to the making of a lovespoon. Our bespoke lovespoon service gives you the chance to be involved in designing your perfect lovespoon.
