This hands on class will be turning a small platter or bowl that leaves the Burl on the back and will incorporate texture and possibly color on the face.  We will mount it using a faceplate, then we will shape the front and add various textural elements. We will have rotary carvers and bits for everyone to use.  We will also have dyes and inks along with metal rub-on colors to highlight the textures.  

This class provides the opportunity to try the techniques demonstrated in the AWA morning meeting.All participants are expected to attend the 9:00 AM meeting at Hardware Park. Also, prior experience turning a bowl is required
