Instructor David Pietras will lead a hands-on woodturning class on September 11, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM, teaching participants how to craft their own wooden pens. The class will cover the entire pen-making process, from selecting the right wood blank to shaping it on the lathe. David will demonstrate proper tool handling techniques, safety precautions, and the importance of precision in achieving a smooth, polished finish. Participants will have the opportunity to practice under his guidance, using various chisels and sanding methods to refine their designs.
By the end of the session, each student will walk away with a beautifully turned, custom-made wooden pen. David will provide tips on applying finishes and assembling the pen components for a professional look. His clear instructions and personalized feedback will make the class accessible for beginners while still engaging for those with prior woodturning experience. The workshop promises to be both educational and creatively rewarding, giving attendees a deeper appreciation for the art of woodturning.
