Beginning Wood Turning Workshop

This workshop will cover basic safety issues and then launch into an introduction to types of wood, wet versus dry, tools (lathe and hand tools), and techniques (clamping, turning, finishes). Expert Madison Geer will ensure that each student produces one or two pieces, such as a spindle, muddler, dibbler, small dry flower urn and/or small bowl.
