Week one of the novice course will focus on lathe safety and familiarisation with the lathe. Novices will be introduced to various lathe tools, including the skew, roughing gouge, bowl gouge, and spindle gouge, and will have the opportunity to practice turning wood round, creating beads, and coves. Experienced turners will provide one-on-one mentoring throughout the week to ensure that novices are able to progress at their own pace. And of course, we'll be sure to add some humor to keep things light and enjoyable!
