Aesop Knife Sharpening Workshop - Sat 5th December

Learn to sharpen and maintain your own kitchen knives at home. This hands-on workshop breaks the process down step by step, so you leave with the skills and confidence to do it yourself.

Led by knife maker and sharpening expert, Ralph, the class covers the essentials of sharpening with whetstones. You’ll start with the theory behind what makes a knife sharp, how to diagnose why a knife is blunt, and the basics of knife care. After live demonstrations, you’ll pick up a stone and practise for yourself, learning how to find the right angle, achieve a good finish and keep your blade free from damage.

We’ll keep things as hands-on as possible. Stones and knives are provided to practise on, and with a maximum of five people per class, your instructor will watch your technique closely and offer guidance as you go. There’s plenty of time for questions too.
