Additional information about the woodturning courses
Workshop and training room
Early 2016 the workshop was converted into a workshop annex course room. There are at least 7 lathes at all times so that each student has his own lathe. These courses are also announced on Facebook and in the newsletter (you can register at the bottom of this page).
To be kept informed of the course offering, click HERE on 'like'. There are different courses. A basic course, bowl turning, threading and hollow turning. If you want to participate in one of these workshops and it says "sold out" on the site, you can enter your email address. Then you will receive a message if someone cancels and I will send you a message when your workshop or course is scheduled again! Furthermore, there will occasionally be guest woodturners to give a workshop.

What lathes are used for the classes?

No. Nevertheless, we take a number of precautions. Every student wears face protection behind the lathe. Remove rings or necklaces and do not wear flapping clothing or shawls.
Is it fun?
Yes.
Can I also get private lessons?
Yes, that is possible! If you want to absorb as much information as possible in 1 day, or have specific questions or problems, private lessons can be a good solution.
