Woodturning Lessons

Discover the Enjoyment of Woodturning

Learn woodturning in a relaxed, friendly workshop environment, with personal guidance every step of the way.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience already, one-to-one lessons are tailored to your interests and ability. You’ll learn how to use the lathe and tools safely, understand the characteristics of different woods, and develop the skills to create your own turned pieces.

Woodturning is a wonderful way to slow down, be creative and enjoy working with your hands. There’s real satisfaction in taking a piece of timber and gradually revealing the shape and beauty hidden within it.

My aim is to help you build confidence, enjoy the process and, most importantly, have a rewarding experience at the lathe.
