About This Workshop
Woodturning is an immediate process that can result in a functional object in just a couple of hours. In this workshop, students will learn how to safely turn functional bowls and platters from both green and kiln-dried wood. Using only the bowl gouge, students will begin the process by shaping the outside of the bowl. Then move on to a reverse mounting method in order to turn the inside of the bowl then reverse it once more to trim the foot. In this workshop, Jason will place an emphasis on safety and technique, form, and function. Each student will leave this workshop with many bowls and platters, new technical skills, and the confidence to safely practice woodturning.
