In this three-part class, Grant will teach you how to turn a wooden plate using a lathe. He will take you through the steps of shaping a chunk of cherry hardwood into a finished, oiled plate to bring home with you. Turning a bowl will also be an option. The shop will be available to complete your project during open shop time. Prior lathe experience is helpful, but not necessary.
