We offer a variety of turning courses to suit your previous experience – none, some or lots. If you’ve got lots, maybe you can come and teach us. If you’ve already got some then maybe this course will help you develop further.

These are the pieces produced by the participants on our very first run of this Bowls and Boxes course back in 2023. Some of the projects chosen were at the high end of the difficulty scale – the “I want to have a go” attitude we had in this group was wonderful, and has turned out to be the norm rather than the exception.
They were all really well executed projects but top marks go to Nikki for her natural edge bowl in burr elm and to Sharon for her square bowl in yew.
