Learn how to make your own pen blanks using epoxy in this class! Students will learn the basics of using epoxy resin as they're guided through the process of creating 4 of their own blanks. NOTE: Students can take our Pen Turning 103 class to turn their blank into a pen OR they can come back after the class to de-mold their blank and take it home to turn.
*Students MUST have previous bowl turning experience.* In this wood turning class focused on lidded bowls, participants will delve into the art of shaping and hollowing out wood to craft functional and aesthetically pleasing vessels. Students will learn how to create smooth curves, perfect proportions, and snug-fitting lids that showcase both skill and creativity. From selecting the right wood to mastering the techniques of turning and finishing, this class promises to unveil the beauty and precision of turning a simple block of wood into a stunning and practical piece of art.
This is a great introduction to turning acrylic or resin on a lathe, with the end product being a pen to keep that you made yourself from start to finish. Previous turning or woodworking experience is helpful but definitely not required. We cover the basics of safety, the parts of a lathe, lathe tools, and accessories, as well as everything you need to start making acrylic or resin pens, bottle stoppers, Christmas ornaments, and other turned creations! During the five hour class, students in the class will learn how to select and cut pen blanks, drill and mount the blanks on the lathe, turn the pen barrels, wet sand, and assemble a pen. And the skills learned in this class will easily transfer to other spindle turning classes or projects. *Students who have taken the previous pen blank casting class and will be using their own blank will receive a $10.00 Woodcraft Gift Card*
