About this Event
In this intermediate-level class, students will transform a fresh-cut piece of wood into a one-of-a-kind wooden bowl. We'll start with selecting a log and cutting it down to a blank bowl using the bandsaw. From there you'll learn how to properly mount the blank on the lathe and use a variety of tools to shape your bowl while it's still wet. This class emphasizes technique, safety, and creativity as you learn the skills of turning unprocessed wood.
As a bonus, once your bowl has dried, you’ll have the opportunity to book a second free session to learn how to reshape and finish it.
Prior turning experience is strongly recommended, as this class builds on foundational skills like tool control and lathe setup.
