Pen Turning Workshop

Class meets April 20, In Studio

Description:

This is a single workshop that teaches you from start to finish, how to “turn” a wooden pen on a lathe. Leave this course with a new understanding of turning, a unqiue pen that you created, and the knowlege for how to continue to make your own pens at home.

About the instructor: Palo Coleman grew up unfettered in Northern California where he spent a lot of time in the woods taught himself building skills and developed an interest in small-scale living. Now living with his wife and family in Cambridge, he continues to experiment in myriad woodworking techniques and is a tiny-house builder. Recent projects include a living playground in Waitsfield, Vermont’s elementary school; making a vertical garden system; constructing medieval games for the Fuller Craft Museum; and developing a portable studio with Japanese-wood siding.
