Anna Barker Craft, VISIT ANNA’S WEBSITE
Hello; I’m Anna Barker and I live near Macclesfield in Cheshire.
My greenwood carving journey started back in 2012 when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Taking time off work to come to terms with this diagnosis gave me room to explore hobbies I was keen to try, one of these being spoon carving.
This hobby soon became my passion and has helped me to keep active. I use the traditional methods of axe and knife for hand carving spoons, scoops and shrink pots, using sustainably sourced greenwood.
I have recently started teaching greenwood crafts and this year, as well as teaching locally in Higher Poynton, I look forward to teaching at The Great Scottish Spoonhoolie in Stirling, and Spoontown in Kent.
I also paint landscapes, local scenes, puffins and penguins and have taught at some local art groups. You can find more details and information about me, my carving and my artwork on my website,
