Woodturning for Beginners
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.
Tuition: $775 OR Tuition + Studio Support Donation: $975
Studio Fee: $95 Code: W0817 Enrollment Limit 8
Spindle Turning Multiples:
Mark Supik
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all
CONCEPT: Traditionally, spindle turning has been
done in batches, with all of the pieces matching each other exactly. This class explores the
relationship between a group of turned objects
that are varied slightly to create a unified piece.
Learn how to improve your spindle turning
skills, but also to increase your visual vocabulary by varying traditional woodturning details.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Wood, air-dried and kiln
dried; milk paint and oil for finishing. We use
spindle gouges properly and efficiently and
practice duplicating skills.
ACTIVITIES: Each day begins with a practice of
spindle turning techniques followed by a daily
project. Each project is made up of multipleturned pieces, each varying slightly and relating to one another to create a unified design
idea. Projects might include candlesticks, beer
taps, three-legged stools or strung turned-bead
necklaces.
