Woodturned Bottle Stopper Workshop

This one-session workshop offers an excellent introduction to woodturning, perfect for beginners or those looking to try something new. You will learn fundamental woodturning techniques, including proper tool handling, methods for shaping wood, and essential lathe safety practices. After a brief demonstration, students will practice these techniques hands-on before creating two unique wine bottle stoppers to take home. With step-by-step guidance from an expert woodturner, participants will gain confidence in using the lathe and exploring their creativity. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials are provided!
