Bowl Turning

Saturday 3/7, 9-5pm

The lathe teaches patience through motion.

Bowl Turning introduces students to the fundamentals of turning functional forms on the lathe. Emphasis is placed on tool control, grain orientation, and safe, repeatable processes.

Students will move from rough blank to finished bowl while learning how wood behaves under rotation and edge pressure, and will take home a couple finished pieces.

You’ll learn to:

Mount and orient bowl blanks

Use turning tools safely and effectively

Understand grain in rotational work

Shape clean, balanced forms

Finish turned surfaces

Who it’s for: Beginner to intermediate turners looking to build confidence and control.
