Woodturning Tuition
From evening classes to bespoke training programs, we can provide whatever you require.
The day starts with a quick overview of what we intend to cover, an H&S briefing to ensure everyone stays safe, then onto the fun stuff!
Tea, coffee and water are available whenever you need a break.
Two types of training courses are available, set classes designed to cover different aspects of turning and bespoke courses built around an individual, or a group.
Courses are available to suit all skill levels, from total beginner to experienced turners wanting to refine their skills - or try a new technique.
Courses take place in a purpose built workshop, just outside Glasgow.
