This class will explore many types of turned wooden containers, including boxes, bowls, platters, cups, and vases. Along with techniques for making them, students will learn simple, low-cost ways to decorate their work. The class will cover carving, engraving, wire brushing, and burning, as well as using milk paint, acrylics, rolled ink, and applied eggshell. Students are encouraged to bring unfinished turnings from home that they are unsure how to complete. Mark Gardner and Clay Foster will guide students as they create their own decorated containers. Mark is a master box and bowl maker, and Clay has been turning wood since trees were invented. Together, they have more than 70 years of experience in woodturning and art making. This is an intermediate class. Students should know how to sharpen their tools and use a bowl gouge. Everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to teach. Come share with us.
