Description
Made from Tōtara with Walnut, Carved Spoon piece 112/200 is a one-of-one piece by Courtney Petley, handmade in Auckland.
The 100 Piece Series began as an exploration of repetition and process, allowing an idea to develop visibly from one piece to the next rather than presenting only a resolved final form. Beginning with the spoon, Courtney worked with timber off-cuts to determine each shape and size, drawing the bowl of each spoon to fit the material and adding decorative timber inserts.
Each work retains its original number within the series, part of Courtney's experiment with both progression through the series.

- 【66】Courtney Petley
Courtney Petley is a self-taught woodworker based in Auckland, New Zealand, who found her passion for woodworking in 2014. Originally from the fashion industry, Courtney began carving with an axe, a knife and an old piece of Rimu floorboard, making her first kitchen utensil one winter evening. What started as a hobby grew into a full-time practice by 2017, expanding beyond kitchen utensils to include chopping boards, furniture, lighting and sculptural objects.
Working predominantly with reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, Courtney’s practice is grounded in an appreciation for functional design and the natural character of the wood. Each piece is made by hand, allowing the grain, colour, age and imperfections of the timber to remain an integral part of the finished object.
Courtney also shares her knowledge through spoon-making workshops, teaching others the hand-carving techniques that first began her own woodworking practice.
