Have You Ever Wanted To Make Your Own Wood Bowl or Pepper Mill?
No experience necessary ! Have fun learning to turn your own wood bowl or pepper mill.
Maybe you have never used a wood lathe or perhaps not since high school? Maybe you already own a wood lathe but are apprehensive about using it? Maybe you have always wanted to buy a wood lathe but want to give it a try first? Maybe you just want to have fun learning something new? Maybe it’s time you gave it a try . . .
Here’s what some of our students have said:
- “I had a lot of fun creating something functional and expressing the natural beauty of the wood. Your focus on safety gave me the confidence to have fun”
- “I took your course to help me decide whether or not I wanted to invest in a lathe and associated tools. The two days were such fun that I’ve decided to go ahead and do it”
- “The woodturning weekend was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time”
- “Awesome fun! I though I’d be really nervous, but the small class size and friendly environment made me feel very comfortable“
- “I definitely had a lot of fun, and I think the way you taught the material will make it stick in my head . . . I know that my Dad and I will plan some weekend soon to get his lathe fired up!“
