Course programme
This popular, practical course is a grand introduction to the craft. It gives newcomers a sound approach and helps self-taught turners sort out problems and develop skills. The design and production of a range of projects is undertaken. Each task brings into play important aspects of technique: once grasped, these apply to the making of a host of turned work. Tool sharpening is dealt with in detail. Personal tools are frequently brought along so that difficulties can be resolved and edges restored!
