Learn the basics of turning wood on a lathe in this introductory class which will focus on bowl turning.

This class will cover wood selection, tool types, sharpening and lathe adjustment and accessories, including different types of chucks.

This is a hands on class where each student will have time at the lathe.  Please note these will be practice cuts not ones focused on creating a finished project.

All materials and tools will be supplied.     

No experience is necessary. 

INSTRUCTOR: Lee Stollar has been turning wood for about 15 years. His large bowls, often made from trees that grew on Bainbridge, have been featured in fund-raising auctions at IslandWood, where he volunteers, and are sold at the Bainbridge Arts & Crafts gallery. He has also participated in the Bainbridge Studio Tours.
