Bowl Turning 1 with the Woodturning School
Prerequisite: Intro 2 or approved equivalent experience.

Almost everybody loves bowls. Wooden bowls, turned on the lathe, have a warmth and patina unique to themselves. This course will teach the pros and cons of green vs. dry turning; the stance and movement necessary to successful bowl turning; the techniques of “facing” and “rounding up” bowl blanks; and safety procedures for out of balance blanks. Each student will produce at least two bowls, one each of “green” and “dry” wood. All tools and supplies provided.

“I wouldn’t suggest doing anything
differently … great course!”

“I especially liked the different techniques presented
and building upon previously learned skills.”
