This workshop emphasizes making open bowls and hollow forms. Working with fresh-cut green logs, students will learn the location of their bowls and vessels within the logs, and process them on the lathe using a versatile “Signature” gouge and various hollowing tools. Class topics include object and tool design, attaching devices, sanding and finishing, measuring wall thickness, and working with green wood…and other student suggestions during five exciting days of making shavings. Open to all skill levels.

COURSE FEE: $595
