This wooden spoon is one of many products created at the Shobu Gakuen support centre in Kagoshima, which offers a safe, welcoming environment for people with learning disabilities, and which promotes interaction with local communities through collaboration, and creative and cultural activities. These spoons were made in woodworking workshops, part of Shobu Gakuen’s mission to support independent work and creative expression. Rather than following a specific design, these spoons were each made individually, reflecting the distinctive decisions of the person who carved the spoon.

Not microwave or dishwasher safe.
Dry well after washing.

Size: L20.5 cm x W4 cm x H2 cm
