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 Justin Wood NI, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you book.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Justin Wood NI 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 £100 a fair price for this?
Most half-day woodworking courses on this site cost between £40 and £100. At £100 this one sits towards the pricier end, 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 Justin Wood NI. 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.
