Class Description:

This workshop is an excellent next step for anyone who has already begun to learn the fundamentals of woodturning. Beth leads participants through a series of projects that utilize proper spindle and end-grain turning techniques to create boxes, vessels, and bowls. Additionally, students learn to make custom tools for hollowing and specialized applications.
Beth emphasizes safe and efficient tool handling throughout. She also creates a supportive atmosphere in which students can develop their creative voices. Among the decorative skills she covers are architectural carving for twists and patterns, offset turning, and pyrography.

This is also the class where woodturning and printmaking collide! Learn the basics of woodturning to create cylinders.

When the prints are dried students will use the bandsaw and lathe to create personalized containers and sculptures, connecting paper to wood in a variety of ways. Printmakers expand printmaking into 3D.  Turners learn how 2D can elevate the objects you are making. Learn how to safely use the lathe, Bandsaw and carving tools.
