Learn to Turn

Mike’s passion for woodturning is contagious! This class is open to anyone who is willing to learn (and be covered in woodchips).

This class runs through the basics of the craft, choosing your wood, mounting it on the lathe, and getting busy as each turn slowly reveals a masterpiece!

Class cost includes individualized guidance, use of tools, and wood for your project. Each student will leave with (at minimum) a finished bowl. Time and skill depending, students may also leave with a pen or other small project.

Class sizes are kept at a minimum to ensure that every students gets the best possible experience and leaves satisfied with their finished work.

Note: Classes for students under 18 years old can be arranged upon request and must be accompanied by an adult.

Past Classes

Mike is there to guide you and give you the skills and confidence to go home with some beautiful pieces. The bowl I made is a great conversation piece and I’m happy to have it for many years to come

We had such a great time learning wood turning from Mike! Not only is he super knowledgable, but he was so nice as well. He really went out of his way to accommodate us, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested.
