About This Workshop

This class will focus on using a contemporary wood artist’s tool kit, from conventional turning to multi-axis turning, while using everything in the wood shop but the kitchen sink (but maybe the kitchen sink gets a sculptural makeover as well in this class). Other tools will include power carvers, angle grinders, electric chainsaws, and pyrography. So, with all these tools at our disposal, students will implement them with an emphasis on creativity, design, and problem-solving. The goal will be to pick items in our kitchen and reimagine it, allowing students to sculpt new versions of objects we live with and use daily or weekly.

Key Points

  • Designing something and learning how to bring it to life
  • Creating heirlooms that are both fun and meaningful
  • Using a full contemporary wood artist’s tool belt in creation
  • Will emphasize the lathe as a powerful vehicle as the universal starting point
  • Some step-by-step projects to start the week just to get everyone’s skills and creativity firing on all cylinders
