In this workshop, you will learn how to develop fine technique, finesse & tool control, while exploring the creation of both well-designed side & end grain projects & forms at the lathe, and the finer points of classic, traditional wood turning using a range of beginning – advanced cutting techniques, and tool modifications. In this class Matt will introduce you to some of his most effective approaches in the craft ?Based on his formative years training & spent as a working professional trade woodturner and will aid in helping you to develop an aesthetic, and approach in learning to create your best work.
