​

 

What should I wear to my woodturning class?

 

You’ll need long trousers and sturdy footwear, safety boots are preferred, remember you'll be on your feet a lot of the day so something comfortable.

No trainers or sandals.

 

Do I need to bring my own wood?

​

No, I will provide wood for you to turn - as well as paints, adhesives, waxes etc.

​

​

What safety equipment do I need - or do you provide it?

​

All safety equipment is provided. For every class there’ll be:

• Smock

• Visor

• Safety glasses

• Earplugs

• Gloves

• Dust masks

​

Are woodturning tools also provided in the classes?

​

All machinery and tools are provided, but if you have your own tools or PPE, you’re more than welcome to bring them along.

​

Can you teach people under 18?

 

Yes, I can teach from any age, this obviously depends upon the persons ability to hold tools and accept instructions, generally I would say from 10 years old. For these classes, I keep a ratio of 2 students to one woodturning tutor. So, if you’d like a group of 4 students under 18, I will bring in another tutor.

​

How much do the classes cost?

 

I run classes where you can come along and join in with people of a similar level and lean together, or classes for specific number of students who wish to have a more one to one style of tutering, contact me for available dates.
