About this Workshop
Need a getaway? Need a jump start to your creativity? Just looking for a fun time with like-minded women? Spend a week making neat stuff on the lathe and sharing creative ideas, techniques, and lots of laughs with just women! No matter if you’ve never stood at a lathe or are a seasoned woodturner, all skill levels are welcome to share in the camaraderie. Jennifer will have a different project every day, suitable for everybody. Participants can doodle on their projects with woodburners, make textures with rotary burrs, and add color with stencils and acrylic paint. Students will make a hammered copper lidded box, a few small delightful bowls, an acorn box, maybe some UV acrylic resin, and lots more! Jennifer will go over safety, sharpening, and share her 26 years of woodturning with you. Don’t miss this unique opportunity for creative growth and a ton of fun!
