This woodturning course introduces students to lathe operation, tools, and safety essentials. You’ll progress from basic techniques like rounding wood and creating beads and coves to crafting projects such as honey dippers, tealight holders, and spinning tops. Each week builds your skills, leading to
a final piece that’s polished and uses all the techniques learned throughout the course. Perfect for beginners eager to learn the art of woodturning.
