Join us for an engaging introduction to bowl turning on the lathe. This demo class covers everything you need to feel confident before you ever sit down at a lathe. We'll walk through the essential tools — what they do and when to use them — then move into wood selection and how to properly prepare a blank. By the end, you'll have a real foundation to build on and a clear sense of where to start.

Perfect for complete beginners or anyone looking to fill in the gaps.

- Tools & technique
