What the course covers

When
On a day arranged with you

A woodturning course taught live online from Stephen Kearvell.

What is woodturning?

Woodturning is done on a lathe. The wood spins and you shape it by holding a chisel or gouge against it, so the tool stays still and the work moves. Most beginner days start with a spindle, a rolling pin or a light pull, before moving to a bowl. It is one of the quickest crafts to get a finished object from, which is why so many taster days end with something you can take home and use.

Dates, prices and places are set by Stephen Kearvell, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you book.

Where is it?

This one is online, so there is nowhere to travel to. Stephen Kearvell runs it live over the internet.

Is this a fair price?

Here is this course against the 32 other half-day woodworking courses we hold a price for, matched on length so it is a fair comparison.

Questions people ask before booking

Do I need to bring my own tools?

Stephen Kearvell does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand woodworking course can assume you bring your own.

Is £120 a fair price for this?

Most half-day woodworking courses on this site cost between £40 and £100. At £120 this one sits above almost all of them, out of 33 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.

Who do I book with?

You book directly with Stephen Kearvell. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
