This class is a great introduction to the world of turning, a skill that can be incorporated into furniture building or general woodworking projects as well as to produce turned objects such as spindles, bowls, pens, and round boxes.

Whether you have a lathe at home and want to learn how to use it, or you plan to come to CCSA’s Woodworking Studio to make projects there, this class is for you! In this class you will learn the ins and outs of turning wood.

Starting with an introduction to the lathe you will learn how to turn several basic shapes. This class covers basic safety, machine components, tools, and basic operation of the tools and equipment while making different shapes of wood. Students will then learn how to sharpen the blades and begin making spindles, ornaments, and bowls.

This class meets for class time on Tuesday evenings, included in the tuition fee are Thursday evening Open Studio sessions to practice the skills.
