Wood Turning: Bowls & Beyond 3W25
Age Group:

This class will be registerable on October 15th.
Do you want to go beyond the basics of woodturning, and learn new skills? In this 2-day workshop, you'll learn techniques on the lathe to create your own custom wooden bowls, platters, artistic sculptures and more. Take your woodturning skills to the next level, working at your own pace.
Completely new to woodturning? Beginners will learn basic lathe techniques to create wooden vessels.
Start with pieces of tree limbs and trunks, make them round, and take off from there.
Wood will be provided in class; advanced turners may bring their own. No physical strength or previous woodworking experience required.
Proper safety gear (including wearing a visor to protect the face) while turning is required.
Limit 8 students.
