Cups & Canisters
Dates: Saturday, October 3rd & Sunday, October 4th (2 meetings)
Hours: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Instructor: Eric Goodson
This class will introduce students to end-grain cup turning. Unlike most bowl turning, which orients the grain perpendicular to the lathe bed, end-grain turning orients the grain parallel to the lathe bed, like spindle turning. Students will learn to use both traditional bowl gouges and ring tools, as well as explore the advantages of turning with the machine running in reverse and once-turned versus twice-turned vessels. Each student will have a dedicated lathe and will create two or three cups or bowls.
Tools & Supplies: All tools and supplies will be provided for this class.
