About

This class has been postponed and will be re-scheduled again soon.

Progress to the intermediate level of bowl turning: turning a bowl that has a deeper profile and steeper sides than in the introductory class.

You will turn one bowl during this class while learning to use three types of bowl gouges, ground with different bevel angles to help you navigate the steeper and more constrained profile of the bowls and to create a deeper, flat bottom without having “catches.” You will develop an understanding of why the different grinds work and when to use which one so that you can turn independently on increasingly sophisticated bowl shapes during open studio or at home on your own lathe. 

Sanding and finishing of the bowl will likely be done outside of class. Students are encouraged to meet with the instructor during Open Studio time for help with this process and to obtain additional help with their bowl turning.

Details:

  • The $20 materials fee will be collected online at time of registration.
  • Open to those who have (a) completed BARN's "Introduction to Bowl Turning" class and been approved for independent bowl-turning during open studio or (b) demonstrated the necessary lathe safety and bowl-turning skills using a bowl gouge during a private studio session with the instructor. Arrange that by contacting Jamie Straw at (360) 551-9233.
  • Students must also have taken BARN’s class on Sharpening Lathe Tools or bring their own bowl gouges.
Instructor: Jamie Straw has been woodturning for three years and teaching at BARN since July 2017. She is Vice President of for Training and Education of the local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners, and focuses on the progressive building of skills and good tool technique as she mentors her students.
