Shelburne Craft School

Are you looking for an introduction to wood turning by making spindle projects like ornaments, mallets or bud vases? Join us in our warm, light-filled, wood shop to learn the beautiful art of wood turning. Over the course of three weeks, students will learn how to use the basic tools of spindle turning: gouges, parting tool, skew and scraper to turn several small projects from dried stock. Students will learn about shop and machine safety while practicing wood turning with blank starts on a lathe. This class assumes no prior wood turning experience but may be repeated for more challenging projects and instructor guidance.
