Turning Bowls on the Lathe

Anonymous review on 2/22/2020

This class was awesome! We learned the basics of turning and had a chance to try a variety of tools and techniques related to the trade. It was very hands on and Alan was a great instructor. Would highly recommend this class as an introduction to turning.

The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful while at the same time allowing us to learn and create our own bowls. I am very pleased with the way the class was taught and I love the items I made.

Alan went above and beyond. His clear passion for the subject matter made it a delight to learn from him and converse with him about wood turning. I would suggest this class to anyone with an interest!

Had an awesome time and learned a lot about the properties of different wood and turning techniques. I also loved that I got to decide my own project as opposed to everyone in class making the same thing.
