Introduction to Woodturning

Come enjoy a taste of woodturning.  Learn how quick, easy and relaxing it can be to carve wood into a wide variety of shapes. No prior woodturning (or even woodworking) experience is required. An instructor, all tools, materials and safety equipment are provided.   An array of red, green, yellow, white, and natural burl wood turnings.   Class size is small for lots of one on one instruction.  You’ll learn that woodturning has more in common with driving a car or shaving than with carving wood with a jack knife.  Many beginner students even comment about having unexpected, meditative moments when wood seems to just flow off the turning tool. If you like the experience, longer class are available  where you can make a functional item. This class also provides members and day pass users with certification to use the lathes at Mill Forge Makerspace.
