During this introduction to bowl turning class, students will have the opportunity to work on their own green bowl, being able to take a finished bowl home at the end of class. As part of learning this process, class will cover the basics of parts of the lathe, how to mount and secure a bowl blank, using the proper tools, and learning how to turn the inside and outside of a bowl. During the first part of class, students make the outside of their bowl, while the second part of class will be focused on carving out the inside. Proper safety will also be covered and maintained throughout class. Please read our Adult Programming Overview page for all info regarding registration, cancellation, and building info.

The course will start with the anatomy of a lathe, staying safe while turning, and appropriate technique for carbide tools (steel tools will be discussed).

In this class you'll learn the ins and outs of spindle turning. The course will start with the anatomy of a lathe and safety while turning, before learning to mount blanks and how to use both carbide and steel tools. Materials will be provided to turn a handle for a screwdriver (the driver itself will be included) or a mallet, or you may come with your own project in mind (feel free to reach out to me in advance of the class if you have another idea, like making a new knob for a bench plane or handle for a chisel). We will end with sanding and finishing on the lathe. Please read our Adult Programming Overview page for all info regarding registration, cancellation, and building info.
