Learn how to turn your own wooden bowl

Step into the world of woodturning with Max and create your very own bowl or platter! In this workshop, you will learn how to use a woodturning lathe and gouges to transform a piece of local wood from the Kempen region into a beautiful and functional piece of art.

Max has two woodturning lathe models (small and large) and you'll have the opportunity to use both during the workshop. With Max's guidance and expertise, you'll learn the techniques needed to turn your piece of wood into a stunning bowl or platter.

You will choose the shape of your bowl or platter and design them while turning. When you are happy with the shape only a quick sanding is needed to finish your creation. At the end of the day you take your very own woodturned creation home! You'll also learn about the importance of conservation and how to care for your new wooden creation.

Throughout the workshop, Max will provide water and tea to keep you refreshed and energised. In the summer the big door of the workshop can be opened to let in the sunshine and in the winter a little stove will create warmth inside the shop.

Join us for a memorable experience that combines creativity and craftsmanship, and take home a beautiful piece of locally-sourced wood to treasure for years to come!
