Twice Turned Bowls

In this intermediate-level class, students will transform a fresh-cut piece of wood into a one-of-a-kind wooden bowl. We'll start with selecting a log and cutting it down to a blank bowl using the bandsaw. From there you'll learn how to properly mount the blank on the lathe and use a variety of tools to shape your bowl while it's still wet. This class emphasizes technique, safety, and creativity as you learn the skills of turning unprocessed wood.

As a bonus, once your bowl has dried, you’ll have the opportunity to book a second free session to learn how to reshape and finish it.

Prior turning experience is strongly recommended, as this class builds on foundational skills like tool control and lathe setup.

Please bring safety goggles and hearing protection.
