Intro to Lathe

Learn the basics of wood turning, and turn your first wooden plate. You will get one-on-one time at the lathe with instructor Des Black as you turn your own shallow wooden bowl/plate. Once students finish this two hour class, they will be eligible to take more advanced wood turning classes and take home their very own shallow wood bowl/plate!

Please note, there are two time slots for this class with the first session starting at 1 pm and then next starting at 3 pm.

During instruction, there will be physical touch from the instructor as he will need to guide your hand along the lathe as you work for increased safety measures.

For further class safety, participants are asked to wear short sleeves, a high neck shirt, no jewelry, and long hair must be secured behind the head using a ponytail holder.

Safety apparel of a dust mask, full face shield, and leather apron will be required for participants to wear during the class session and are provided.
