introductory woodturning COURSES...
INTRODUCTORY WOODTURNING COURSES... The Valley Woodturners are pleased to offer an 18 hour – 3 day session - Introductory Course to Woodturning. The classes run on Saturdays (9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.) at Louis Riel High School (woodworking shop), 1655 Bearbrook Road, Glouceser,K1B 4N3 (in Blackburn Hamlet). The 3 days may be spread over 3-6 weeks to allow students time to practice what they have learned, read up on the subject and to allow for occasional special seminars and school closures.
Maximum class size is 10 students, with 3 instructors. The club provides 10 lathes of various sizes, all the tools and materials required. The course includes spindle turning (beads & coves and the skew chisel), sharpening, making a tool handle, a plate from dry wood and a bowl from green wood. We try to stress tool control thru these lessons so that the new turner has a good understanding of the process to enjoy their new passion.
A short break is scheduled around mid-day. Students and instructors should bring their own lunch as none is provided.
The cost is $300.00 per student for new members which includes the annual membership fee of $40.00. For club existing members the fee is $260.00. Insurance regulations require that applicants be 18 years of age and older. Because of the very high demand course allocations are confirmed upon receipt of payment on a first come / first served basis. These courses sell out very, very quickly so don't delay!
