About this Workshop

This workshop is designed for woodturners who want to take their work beyond basic form and function into the realm of creative expression. In this class, students will start by turning a series of forms that they will then cut and carve to radically alter. Students will use a variety of rotary carving burrs in combination with high-temperature pyrography to create complex, expressive surfaces. Visual interest will be created by using color to highlight carved textures. A special emphasis will be placed on color-mixing and how to make informed color choices. Morph your turnings into a three-dimensional canvas with endless possibilities for expression!
