1-person one-day Intermediate Woodturning Experience

£230.00Price
Learn woodturning at an intermediate level in the peaceful setting of our workshop located in the cottage garden of our home on the Cambs/Norfolk border. 
 
Our diamond award-winning classes are one to one so you will have an immersive experience with the full attention of the tutor. There will be no other students in the workshop.
 
Pre-requisites:
· Familiarity with spindle and bowl turning techniques
· Own your own tools (bring them along)
 
In this intermediate workshop, students will spend the morning learning methods of shaping and sharpening tools, on both a grinding wheel and belt linisher system (provided), culminating in sharpening their own tools properly.
 
The focus will be on the following tools:
· Spindle Roughing Gouge
· Continental Spindle Gouge
· Spindle Gouges (standard & detail)
· Bowl Gouges (standard, bottom feeder & 40/40)
· Parting Tool
· Scrapers (standard & shear)
· Skew Chisels (various)
(NOTE: you don't need to own all of these tools)
 
You will learn how to grind the most common tools effectively (including your own) and made a lidded box that you'll be able to take away with you at the end of the day.
 
After lunch, which we provide (we cater to all dietary requirements), the focus will be on turning a lidded box which students can take home with them. 
 
About a week before your workshop date, we'll e-mail you again with more details about parking etc.
 
We also offer accommodation in the form of our Crafter's Retreat cabin or we can advise of other local B&Bs.
