Bowl Turning

Salvatore Mancini is a custom fabricator producing custom furniture and interior designs. He works primarily in wood using traditional techniques as well as digital fabrication. He got his start creating sets for theater productions and was inspired to pursue woodworking after restoring a wooden view camera.

This class is intended for those with limited experience on a wood lathe and want to learn how to turn a bowl. This class covers face turning, which has important differences to spindle turning. Students will learn how to bring larger pieces to round and the basics of hollowing vessels(of which bowls are one type).

The materials fee for this class is $40. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments in cash or through Venmo.
