INTRO 1: An Introduction to Woodturning
 This course will provide an introduction to bowl making, end-grain hollowing techniques and spindle turning. In addition to woodturning, students will be exposed to
safety, tool sharpening and lathe maintenance. Students
will “learn-by-doing.” Each step will be explained and demonstrated after which each student will do “hands-on” exercises. The instructor will supervise and correct mistakes and offer support in the learning process. The emphasis is on enjoying the process of turning. Bowls, goblets and mallets will be among the exercises each student may undertake.
