About this Event

Beginner Wood Lathe 101: Honey Dipper
Curious about woodturning? This hands-on beginner class is the perfect place to start! You'll learn the fundamentals of using a wood lathe safely and confidently. Topics include lathe safety, how to mount wood, and an introduction to spindle turning techniques. By the end of class, you’ll go home with your very own hand-turned honey dipper!

This is the first of two beginner-level classes. Each session builds your skills and prepares you for more advanced turning projects.

Your instructor, Matt Coleman, brings over 12 years of experience and a passion for helping makers meet their goals. Whether you're brand new to woodturning or just looking to refine your technique, Matt’s here to guide you every step of the way.

Class Requirements:

  • Open to ages 16 and up. Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult who is also enrolled in the class.
  • Please arrive on time. For your safety, anyone who misses the safety briefing will not be able to participate, and refunds will not be given.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and avoid loose clothing. All hand and wrist jewelry must be removed.
  • Safety goggles and face masks will be provided. If you wear prescription glasses, you’re welcome to bring your own eye protection. Hearing protection is optional—feel free to bring your own if you’d prefer.
