Turning plates on a pole lathe

Turning plates on a pole lathe.
This two day workshop is suitable for everyone from beginners to experienced pole lathe turners.
On day one of the class, you will begin to learn how to source and prepare wood for plate turning and then the best practical techniques to turn a plate on a pole lathe.
Once you have turned your first plate, you will spend the rest of the course improving your technique with further plate turning and learning about design, form and tool care.
The course will be led by internationally recognised pole lathe turner Owen Thomas, a professional greenwood worker and teacher.

Full payment for each course is required when booking (please do contact us if this is a problem).  You can change the date or cancel your place up to 30 days before the course starts but there is a £25 charge. The full course fee is non-refundable after this time, however we will always try to fill the cancelled place. If we can fill your place, we are of course happy to transfer you to another course.

Please note there are no dogs allowed on site and while we give you full safety briefings all courses are attended at your own risk.

All courses are for 18 years and over.

Please note pole lathe turning can be physically demanding but there will be plenty of breaks during the course.
