About this Event

Three-day workshop over three weeks - Tuesdays, November 12, 19, & 26, 2024, 6-9 pm

In this beginner-level workshop, you will learn the basics of bowl turning by making small (8-10 inch) bowls. You'll start with material preparation and sharpening, and then do some activities to challenge your cutting touch. The core of the workshop is learning to turn bowls using bowl gouges and negative rake scrapers. You'll end with sanding and finishing techniques.

About the instructors:

Grace Korman is a Portland-based woodworker and artist with a love for community, crossword puzzles, and outdoor recreation. Grace grew up making and creating art in just about every medium you could imagine. From pottery to painting to photography, Grace has enjoyed dabbling in it all. They were first introduced to woodworking and carpentry through elective courses in junior high and high school. In recent years Grace has begun to focus more on the artistic and creative side of woodworking and found a particular love for turning bowls and vases on the lathe.
As a queer Korean-American, Grace is especially passionate about creating approachable and accessible spaces for others, whether it be in outdoor recreation or in the wood shop, everyone should feel like they can participate.

Paloma Díaz-Dickson is a Portland-based illustrator, artist, and woodworker. She was born in Houston, TX, and grew up in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in a home where play, work, and making things were inextricably and happily linked together. Her educational background is in illustration, but she decided to dive into woodworking as part of her MFA thesis project and has never looked back. Moving away from digital and 2D illustration, her work has become more three-dimensional and she enjoys straddling the line between fine arts, craft, and design. Plainly put, she just likes making objects and is at the moment focusing on hand turned wooden objects.
