Workshop - Wood | Registration opens 5/13/2025 9:00 AM EDT

Start your exploration of woodturning in this hands-on workshop where you'll turn and take home a set of 3 - 6 pens. This fun and fast-paced workshop will get you familiar with the tools and techniques of pen turning with an emphasis on safety and with the goal in sight of some handmade pens of your own! No woodworking or turning experience is necessary. 

Additional Information:
  • A material fee of $15 for a set of 3 pens must be added at check out. If you would like to try to turn up to six pens, please add a second material fee. First timers may prefer to just pay for one set, and more experienced turners or those with their own lathes at home may want to purchase an extra set.
  • Registration will close one week prior to the start of class
  • Enrollment is open to students ages 18 and up
