Prerequisite: Intro 1 and Intro 2 or approved equivalent experience.
Hollow vessels remain the basic structure in most woodturned art today. In an effort to encourage students to pursue hollow turning, Ken Keoughan, Founder and Director of the Woodturning School is going to teach a Hollow Turning course here at the Woodturning School for 4 consecutive mornings.
“This class will start with chain sawing blanks and will end with finishing techniques. There will be some texturing, some ebonizing and painting (if desired). We plan to work from Monday – Thursday, and Friday if needed. Basic Intro 1 and 2 will be briefly reviewed. All students can plan on taking home 3 relatively modest pieces.
What I’m hoping to accomplish here is to show the students the magic, the fun of working with the Jamieson Laser Turning apparatus; in fact the genuine satisfaction of creating simple handsome vessels. We need to develop more turners who are confident with Hollow Turning. In addition to the standard scraper tips used with the various hollowing systems, we will be teaching the new Mike Hunter carbide tip cutter that we have seen work miracles right here at the Woodturning School” Keoughan says.
“Remember, as Lyle Jamieson himself has said, it takes a few vessels to get good at it. With this in mind we can consider the idea of establishing inexpensive Hollow Turning “laboratory sessions” wherein people with Hollow Turning experience can come in and use our tools.
The cost of this workshop is $325 for instruction with a $40 materials fee. Price includes breakfast pastries, lunch, snacks and beverages.
Price Change Policy: The Woodturning School reserves the right to change the pricing structure of any offering at any time without notice.
“The equipment is excellent. The individual attention is excellent. The friendly attitude makes it very easy to ask questions.” Jim M.
“The instructor was excellent. I appreciated not being pushed to do too many projects, and that we had time to think about what we were doing. I wouldn’t do anything differently.” Joan C.
