It took me some time to actually visit Barn considering he
is so close. Tom Hepworth, cousin of Barbara Hepworth (the sculptress) is his
latest apprentice who started a couple of months ago was in the shop and I believe he is there until Christmas.
I liked
the very compact bowl lathe in the window.
As you would expect there was a display of spoons!
Barn and I talked about using Paypal to process money. I wanted to know how it was set up for Spoonfest this year. The intention is to use it for the Bodgers Ball payments next year, then hopefully for annual subscriptions. Barn also uses it for course payments.
Great logo on his jumper!
This must be the only spoon maker’s retail shop in London or
perhaps anywhere else for that matter. If you are going to visit give him a
call first. He also has a workshop at Stepney Hall Farm.
JT Batchelor’s Culford Mews, London N1 4DZ
After leaving Barn I went to JT Batchelor’s to buy some scrap
leather from their budget bin but Phill Piddell had beaten me to it!
I had to buy some tools more instead. Behind me was the wall
of leather.
