Phoenix Creations

About 45 minutes south of Hobart, Tasmania, you will find the beautiful village of Cygnet. In this thriving centre for artisans, you will discover a beautiful little studio gallery tucked away on Golden Valley Road - Phoenix Creations. Inside you will find the home of the gorgeous hand-carved wooden Soul Spoon range-not only spoons but salad servers, knives, scoops and spurtles.

The first Australians to be awarded the Wille Sundqvist & Bill Coperthwaite Slojd Fellowship in 2025, Michelle and David Rauenbusch would love to welcome you into their studio where you can watch them at work.

All pieces are hand carved by David, celebrating the past by breathing new life into recycled vintage and green timbers. Michelle adds to the range with whimsical Bloom Spoons and mosaic and beaded jewellery.

Phoenix Creations Studio Gallery opens September-May, Sundays, Noon -5 pm' ish (other times by request- just call to arrange). As well as visiting the gallery, there is now an opportunity to join the fun.

Spoon Carving Workshops are available, catering for ages 5 and up, absolute beginners to those wishing to hone their skills. Perfect for corporate team building too! Dave and Michelle can't wait to share their carving passion.

Bookings can be made on the telephone or via the web store. Workshops are by demand, running all year long. Warning: Spoon Carving is addictive!
