Woodturning, Made Approachable

I’m Emily Ford—a woodturner, instructor and demonstrator. I make functional art and handmade gifts, and I teach the skills that make the lathe feel a whole lot less intimidating.

Take a look at the pieces I’ve made—from rattles and spinning tops to bowls, platters, hollow forms and urns. Every piece starts with the wood and becomes its own story.

I teach woodturning in a way that is practical, approachable and fun. Whether you are brand new to the lathe or ready to sharpen your skills, I’ll meet you where you are.

Bring me to your club or shop for an engaging woodturning demonstration. I share the how and the why, answer questions, and make the process feel doable.

Shop the handmade pieces currently available in my Etsy store. Each one is turned by me and made to be used, gifted and enjoyed.

Come see what’s possible at the lathe.
