About

Make a bowl 7 to 9 inches in diameter as you build your wood turning skills and learn some of the special   techniques needed for bowl-turning.

This is an intermediate-level class, open to students with prior turning experience. Students who have completed Turning Between Centers or Introduction to Wood Turning are eligible. People who did turning in the past and want a refresher on bowl techniques can also enroll, but please contact the instructor, Jamie Straw, first at 360-551-9233 to make sure this class is suitable for you.

You can expect to complete a bowl during this class but you will need to sand and finish it outside of class.  These steps are done on a lathe. You can arrange with the instructor to do this during open studio time at no extra charge.

The instructor will provide materials, at no additional charge.

Instructor: Jamie Straw has been turning wood for about two years, but she has enjoyed teaching since she was 14 years old.  She is currently Vice President for Education and Training for the local chapter of the American Woodturners Association. Her focus is on helping students, especially new turners, build skills progressively as they design and create fun woodturning projects.
