About this Event
Three-day workshop over three weeks - Mondays, May 6, 13 & 20, 2024, 6-9 pm
In this beginner-level workshop, you will learn how to turn between centers, focusing on turning spindles from rough stock, and turning coves and beads. These are the skills needed to make furniture parts for chairs, stools, and tables. The exercises will include activities to challenge your cutting touch, sharpen lathe edge tools, and start to explore bowls.
About the instructor:
