About

Make a stunning wooden pen in this class, which is open to both beginners and those who already have some pen-turning experience.

If you are a beginner, you will learn safe use of a lathe and its chisels and put those concepts to use as you make your first pen. You will also use a drill press to prepare your turning blanks.

If you already have some pen-turning experience, you can make a high-end pen and opt for more expensive wood, such as koa, burled or spalted wood, or stabilized wood. You will learn advanced finishing techniques, resulting in a pen of a quality that typically retails for $75 or more.

• Beginners are welcome.
  
• For both beginners and advance students, an additional fee of $10 to cover materials will be collected online when you register and pay.
• If you decide to make the high-end pen, which uses more expensive materials, please bring cash or a check for an additional $15 to the class.
