Perhaps there is no more secure and versatile way to mount a facegrain bowl than with a faceplate. In this new class, Alan will take students through secure methods of using a faceplate AND completing a bowl without holes to fill or cover on the base’s underside. But fundamentally, this class is about enhancing your skills as a bowl turner. Alan will demonstrate techniques for mounting for figure, natural edged bowls, working forks/crotches and burls, turning thin-walled pieces, once and twice-turned bowls AND (very critical) exploring different forms and shapes of the facegrain bowl. As a bonus, Alan will also show how to use a faceplate to safely mount end-grain bowls/vessels without screwing into end-grain.
