Spend a rewarding day learning the fundamentals of woodturning while creating two elegant pieces — a delicate bud vase and a stylish wooden ballpoint pen. Guided by accredited tutor Liz Pearson, you’ll explore safe tool use, shaping, sanding, and finishing techniques in a relaxed, supportive setting. Using sustainably sourced wood, you’ll gain confidence and practical experience while enjoying the mindfulness and satisfaction of hands-on making.
