Come learn the ease and joy of woodturning—three forms, four days!


Spend four days immersed in woodturning as you explore three essential forms—bowls, lidded boxes, and custom knobs. Guided by an experienced instructor who typically teaches these subjects separately, students will build strong lathe fundamentals while advancing their skills in shaping, hollowing, lid fitting, and repetition work.


Making a bowl or two in the first two days will give you all the skill sets needed to make other shapes—such as plates, boxes, vases, candlesticks, and knobs—in the last two days. Finishes will be applied outside of class, but the instructor will cover finishing options and techniques during the workshop.


This intensive format allows for deeper focus, continuity of practice, and meaningful skill development. Students will get lots of one-on-one instruction and leave with finished pieces, a stronger command of the lathe, and the confidence to continue exploring woodturning independently. Many students find woodturning a meditative experience, easier to do than they thought.
