Woodturning courses in Dublin, Wexford and Kildare
Action shot from the Woodturning class at Gorey Community School
Woodturning is a versatile hobby, and a relatively easy one for complete beginners to take up. Even beginners can produce items such as fruit bowls, candlesticks, lamps and ornaments, which make beautiful and unique gifts.
During a typical 10-week woodturning course, you can expect to work through a couple of projects as you sample both spindle and faceplate work. You will be guided through the process and pick up a range of essential skills along the way. Most courses cater for mixed ability participants, so those who have already mastered the basics are welcome to hone their skills without having to fork out for a woodturning lathe just yet.
