A two-day woodturning course with Turners Retreat in Sheffield.
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.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Turners Retreat 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 £275 a fair price for this?
Most weekend woodworking courses on this site cost between £140 and £395. At £275 this one sits around the middle, out of 60 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 Turners Retreat. 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.
