Itinerary

Heritage crafts man and profesional bowl and plate turner with over 10 years of experience turning on a traditional, foot powered pole-lathe.
I offer full day experience days in which you will pick up the basic skills needed to transform a lump of wood into a beautiful and functional item.I am very much a learning-by-doing man and believe the best way to pick up the skill of bowl turning is by getting right down to it. I will guide you but you will have plenty of opportunity to practice, making mistakes and celebrating successes.
The day will be spend at the lathe learning the techniques needed for cutting out a bowl from a pre-prepared blank.
The day is physically demanding but we will have plenty of breaks for processing newly learnes stuff and tea.
There will be a lunch break, of course. My workshop is a midge-free enviroment.
Please not that you will be pedalling away on a foot-powered lathe which requires a minimum level of fitness and sense of balance. If in doubt, get in touch before booking please.
