Making a footed bowl provides a piece with its own pedestal to elevate the work from the surface. This emphasizes good form and brings attention to the piece. The class will explore adding details such as beads and paint to refine the work. There will be an emphasis on how to select and sharpen the correct tools for this style of turning. Pat begins with a thorough discussion of safety and wood selection. Examples for shapes appropriate for footed pieces will be available so students can work from existing bowls.
