CONCEPT CONCEPT
Develop new dimensions and
possibilities in your woodturning under the
guidance of a woodworking master. This
dynamic workshop introduces David Ellsworth’s
distinctive style in making open bowls and
hollow forms. By examining the full range of
his style, students produce open bowls and
hollow forms while simultaneously refining
existing techniques and learning new ones. A
wider understanding of vessel design is taught
and participants learn about the ergonomics of
body movements for greater working efficiency.
This challenges ideas and concepts in an effort
to teach about the “self” in self-expression.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students work
with the versatile Ellsworth Signature gouge and
hollowing tools, all of which are provided. Each
student is also provided with their own high-
quality lathe. The workshop is fully equipped
with all the tools and accessories necessary
for doing handwork off the lathe. Students
are encouraged to bring digital images or
actual work.
ACTIVITIES
The workshop begins with cut-
rim and natural-edge open bowls, and
progresses to hollow forms. There are
demonstrations throughout the week to
illustrate specific processes relative to students’
interests and the work being produced in class.

IV Curt Theobald IV
Here is your chance to give
free rein to your own personal expression
through form, construction and surface design.
Students explore a range of kinetic movement
in woodturning. Old and new come together
in this workshop about woodturning and
woodworking. This workshop focuses on
playing and collaborating in the studio, while
stretching the possibilities of woodturning.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
techniques in spindle turning, vessels and
containers to construct objects that defy the
borders of woodturning. There are reviews
of construction techniques using the lathe
and woodworking machinery. Working with
kiln-dried lumber and green wood for object
making, participants learn to understand the
concept of “addition by subtraction.”
ACTIVITIES
There are demonstrations
and plenty of hands-on work for personal
and group projects. Explore painting and
finishing techniques for surface design. The
workshop also includes investigation of kinetic
concepts, including gears, pulleys, wheels, pivots
and sliders.
FACULTY
David Ellsworth’s work is included
in the permanent collections of 41 museums and
numerous private collections worldwide. He is a
Fellow and former Trustee of the American Craft
Council and has received fellowship awards

FACULTY
CONCEPT
Challenge yourself as you
learn how to make segmented patterns
in woodturning. Students glue multiple
pieces of wood together to create visually
stunning patterns and discover the mystery
of segmented work by riding along a design
adventure. This workshop teaches ways to
improve skills and create unique and complex
patterns. By the workshop’s end, students gain
an understanding of unlocking patterns for
segmented woodturning.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students should
bring several drawings, designs, images or ideas
of segmented patterns to translate and create
into wood. Working with kiln-dried lumber,
students learn wood movement, develop safe
cutting techniques, realize the value of precise
layout and planning, and gain an understanding
of design concepts and assembly techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Students explore design
concepts and build custom patterns. Studio
time focuses on design, independent work
time and construction of original pieces. Slide
presentations offer a lecture on segmented
turning as a design element.
FACULTY
Curt Theobald is a full-time studio
woodturner living in Wyoming. Curt has
lectured on segmented turning across Europe,
New Zealand, and throughout North America.
His work is in public and private collections
worldwide, including the American Association
of Woodturners, Ivinson Memorial Hospital,
the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Franklin G.
Burrough-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum of
Myrtle Beach and the Peabody Essex Museum.
