CARVER   HISTORY   ENGRAVING

PAUL CURTIS WELSH LOVESPOON CARVER

Paul Curtis, a native of South Wales, grew up in a family of four children. He discovered his love and talent for wood carving when he was very young. When he was sixteen, after learning of his interest in wood carving and design, a good friend Ceris Williams, took him to visit a highly acclaimed master craftsman called Gwyndaf Breeze at St. Flagons Welsh Folk Museum in Cardiff. Gwyndaf taught Paul how to make a Welsh Love spoon and told him about the history of the love spoon. When he was leaving the museum, Gwyndaf encouraged Paul to make a spoon by kindly giving him some pieces of various hardwoods. With a piece of the hardwood Paul made his first love spoon and give it to Ceris, that was in 1983.Paul made many love spoons after this and in 1985 his designs become so popular he decided to start a small business making them. He was sponsored by the Prince of Wales Trust, and has been making them for a living ever since. Today Paul's spoons are much sought-after all over the world and many are exported to Japan, USA and Germany.
