The Benefits of Private Woodturning Lessons:

Craft Your Perfect Lesson

Imagine a personal woodturning lesson just for you. You can delve into the woodturning techniques you’re eager to master – whether it’s spindle turning, bowl turning or creating hollow forms. Perhaps you’d like to try texturing, carving, or adding a splash of colour? Discuss your needs with me beforehand to ensure the lesson will suit your pace and skill level, ensuring you grasp each concept thoroughly.

Step-By-Step Support

Immediate and specific feedback to refine techniques and boost confidence. I’ll be right by your side, guiding you through each step, ensuring you feel both encouraged and challenged – like a good stretch after a long walk!

Focused Attention

1:1 guidance ensures no distractions, allowing for concentrated learning and improvement.

Flexible Scheduling

Lessons can be arranged at times that suit your schedule, making it easier to fit around other commitments.

Comfortable Learning Environment

A relaxed setting where you can learn at ease, without the pressure of a group setting.

Confidence Building
