This hands-on class introduces woodturners to the elegance, precision, and creativity of thin-wall turning and decorative piercing. Students will explore the complete process, from selecting the right timber to creating refined forms ready for intricate surface decoration. Students will turn a thin-wall bowl and a square platter with a consistent 2 mm wall thickness while developing the control and finesse required for advanced work. Helen will cover timber selection, secure holding methods, tool control, sanding techniques, and the process of piercing finished forms. Designed for woodturners who want to expand both their technical and artistic skills, this class will provide the knowledge and inspiration needed to create beautifully pierced pieces.
