Wood Turning: Bowls & Beyond 2W23

Age Group: 
Teens (17+), Adults

Ever wanted to create your own, custom wood vessels?  In this 2-day workshop, you'll use the lathe to make wooden bowls, platters, artistic sculptures and more.

Start with pieces of tree limbs and trunks, make them round, and take off from there. Beginners will learn basic lathe techniques. Experienced students will advance to the next level at their own pace.

Wood will be provided in class; advanced turners may bring their own. No physical strength or previous woodworking experience required. 

Masks are required indoors.  Vaccinations required for all eligible students.

Ken Lindgren makes functional and abstract objects from trees that have fallen due to death, disease, storm or construction. A member of the American Association of Woodturners, he has taught wood turning at Fuller Craft Museum, the New England Woodturning Symposium and elsewhere. He sells his turned bowls and other works of wood art throughout New England.
