This is a fun activity in Slaithwaite, Leeds
Join this one-on-one introduction to wood turning workshop near Huddersfield and learn the foundational skills of this rewarding craft. In this private, three-hour activity, you'll receive dedicated tuition from the Happy Turner, guiding you through every step of the process.
Wood turning is a fascinating woodworking technique where you use hand-held tools to shape a piece of wood as it spins on a lathe. You'll learn how to safely operate the machinery and use specialised gouges and scrapers to transform a simple block of wood into a beautifully smooth, symmetrical object.
The workshop is designed to build your confidence from the ground up. You'll start with a wooden spindle to practise and hone your skills. If you're comfortable, you'll move on to create your very own finished piece to take home.
**For example, you could make one of the following (this will depend on your confidance and what is available on the day) if you want to turn somethign specific please contact us in advance of the lesson or look at our other listings:**
