Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

Are you interested in taking a fun and creative woodworking class? If so, this class is for you! It’s the perfect make-and-take bowl turning class for beginners (no experience needed). In this class, you can focus solely on the creative process of bowl turning. We use carbide tools, which are amazingly durable and stay sharp much longer than traditional turning tools. We also explore the range of carbide tools available and how to use them, and we provide basic lathe techniques to help you turn the perfect bowl.
