About this Workshop

Want to learn how to make John Beaver’s signature wave bowls? In this class, students will learn the basic technique as well as explore a few ways to make different versions. John will start the weekend with a progression of safely cutting apart turned bowls (vertically, horizontally, and with curves), adding to or modifying the elements, and reassembling the pieces with the walls and grain aligned. Once assembled, the “wave” effect will have a huge “How did you do that?” factor, which will be fun to take home and show off to all your friends. John will show students the importance of form, as well as many of his tips and tricks that can help students solve their own design problems.

  • John’s signature “wave” design
  • Cutting round objects safely and accurately on a bandsaw
  • Understanding proper form
  • Deconstructing and reconstructing turned vessels
