Tuesday 31st May

On the last day of the month, Martin had a one to one full day teaching. This course is designed to give a student a tailored approach with consideration of the level of the students’ abilities and turning experience.

With Martin’s guidance, the student turned a goblet to practise spindle techniques in the morning and worked on improving his bowl turning skills after lunch.

Wednesday 1st June

Les had a student for a days Tuition. During the one-to-one days, students have the opportunity to focus on what they want to learn about, turn or practice something they want to, but did not have enough experience previously. Les and Martin gladly share their knowledge and skills with students to help them improve.

When hand sanding always keep the abrasive moving to limit the amount of heat generated and it will lead to a better finish.
