Come stand at the lathe

I teach in small groups and one on one, at your pace and at times that suit you. Every session covers a new technique and you make something with it that goes home with you. All materials are on me.

All materials, tools and coffee are on me

This is what it sounds like inside

What a session looks like

  1. 01

    First hour, technique

    How to hold it, how to cut, and how the wood behaves. No lectures.

  2. 02

    Then you work

    On your own lathe, with your own hands. I am next to you the whole time.

  3. 03

    You leave with a piece

    Not an exercise. Something you put in your home or give as a gift.

Not from me, from them

Students tell it

Three minutes of them is worth more than anything I could write here.
