Wood Turning Workshop

About this class

Learn to turn bowls, boxes, and decorative spindles on the lathe in this hands-on wood turning workshop at the Eliot School's well-equipped Jamaica Plain studio. You'll start with safety fundamentals and tool handling before working directly on a lathe with a piece of wood, guided through cuts and shaping by an experienced turner. The satisfying transformation from a rough blank to a smooth, finished piece makes this one of the most addictive crafts for people who love working with their hands.
