Basic Woodturning: Candlesticks

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of wood-turning and learn how to safely operate Technocopia's full-scale Jet wood lathes. During the class, students will create a candlestick of their own take home afterward.

This class is both an Artisan Workshop that is open to the public, as well as a tool training for Technocopia Members to be certified to use the wood lathes.

*Please note* A "Basic" class is required in order to take an "Intermediate" level class

• No experience necessary for this class.
• Successful completion of this course will result in certification of Technocopia members to independently use the tools directly covered in the course.
• This class is only available to students ages 18 or over.

Hannah Hamad is a self-taught wood turner, who came into the craft while studying for standardized licensing exams in medical school. It quickly became a passion, where an in-apartment lathe with nightly sessions became a sanctuary from the world after long shifts in the hospital. Hannah started teaching at Technocopia June 2022, and has many fun classes planned including technique classes as well as basic and advanced level bowl turning, spindle turning, hollow-form, etc! Always welcoming new ideas for classes, so reach out if you want to make something that isn't listed here!
