Beginning Bowl Turning
This course will introduce the student to the art, science, and techniques needed to turn a block of wood into functional sculpture. Introductory demonstrations will include wood selection and drying, preparing stock for turning, tool sharpening and machine tool operations. Each student will have the time to complete at least one platter and two bowls of their design. The first class is a whirlwind immersion into all the facets of bowl turning for the whole group. Cost includes materials for your first two projects. Time permitting, we may get into some rough-edge green-wood turning. You may never look at a pile of firewood the same again! It is recommended for each student to provide their own safety glasses or shield and earplugs.
