Workshops

Learn the basics of bowl turning in a five day class from September 28-October 2. Students will start with green wood and have the opportunity to turn many bowls of different designs. Use of the side-ground bowl gouge will be a focus as well as shaping and sharpening turning tools. Time will also be spent discussing green wood as a material that is appropriate for fine work.

Learn how to make shrink boxes from green wood in a weekend workshop September 26-27. Students will learn to turn shrink boxes,  lidded containers turned from green wood. The bottom of the box is made from a separate piece of dry wood. As the body of the box dries, and shrinks, the bottom is captured in a groove inside and is locked in place.
