Wood Turning: Shallow Plates 1W24

Age Group: 
Teens (17+), Adults

You can register for this class starting November 15. 

Create your own custom, hand-wrought vessels from wood.

Start with pieces of tree limbs and trunks, make them round and take off from there. Beginners learn basic lathe techniques while experienced students advance to the next level at their own pace. Wood will be provided in class; advanced turners may bring their own.

 

 

I signed up for this workshop because I wanted to expand my wood turning experience.  Ken is awesome: Very friendly, patient, and full of knowledge.  He's a brilliant teacher and made everyone feel comfortable around the machines while highlighting the importance of safety

I especially loved the community-building aspect of taking this workshop and how knowledgeable the instructor was. Ken was also very supportive of creativity and helpful in building our designs while teaching new techniques.

Ken is an excellent, experienced teacher, wonderful source of practical, relevant information that is integral to becoming a better wood turner.  Ken is expert at running a classroom across all experience levels; ensuring everyone gets what they want out of the class.  As Ken says, "It's your class. Tell me what you would like to do and I'll try and help you work out how to do it"
