Allen Jensen, Various Bowls Barbara Dill, Various Turnings July 1 - 5 July 8 - 12 Allen Jensen spindles and other things Basic Bowl Turning  SKILL LEVEL: I - II CONCEPT:  Bowl turning is one of the most popular forms of woodturning, but it can be a difficult process to master. Allen guides this class through the entire process of bowl making, from log to finished work. He demystifies the bowl gouge and makes it an effective and efficient wood-removal tool. Since pretty wood only takes us so far, we concentrate on good design and decorative techniques to set our work apart. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Wood; green and air-dried bowl blanks. Techniques include proper wood selection, correct use of the bowl gouge and body positions; sanding, drying, various decorative techniques, sharpening and finishing. ACTIVITIES: After a basic introduction to tools, woods and techniques, Allen demonstrates his craft and guides the class through each step of the process. Intensive turning sessions allow students to develop skills and techniques. Discussions at various points along the way illustrate our progress. FACULTY: Allen Jensen has been a woodturner for 17 years and a professional bowl maker for the last seven. He is the current symposium director for the Rocky Mountain Woodturning Symposium in Loveland, Colo. He has presented at the Utah Symposium, AAW in St. Paul and Louisville, and the Rocky Mountain Symposium. His work is available in fine craft galleries across the country.

Rather than replicating an instructor’s model, we learn the variables and outcomes of multi axis spindle turning and then decide how to create our own unique designs. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Green and dry wood. All turning is done between centers. Safe turning techniques, tool usage and design ideas are addressed. Split and square turning techniques are also explored.
