WOODTURNING FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNER (workshop)
June 24, 3013 - June 28, 2013
ANDERSON RANCH ARTS CENTER
CONCEPT: Let the chips fly as you explore spindle turning with kiln-dried wood! With smooth buttery shavings falling away, we turn fresh green wood into useful bowls. Students take home three to five finished projects and a solid understanding of basic woodturning techniques.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Green and dry wood; spindle (between-center) and bowl turning; and a variety of added textures and finishing techniques.
ACTIVITIES: After a brief introduction to the tools and techniques of woodturning, students receive a short overview of safe working habits with demonstrations and discussions of how turned objects are used in daily life. Slide talks explore the potential of these objects. We spend a majority of our time on individual projects.
