Demonstrations

I offer engaging, practical woodturning demonstrations for clubs, groups, and individual turners.

See a list of my current demos below.

Classes

Choose a project or skill focus. Classes are available for individuals and small groups and can be tailored to your experience level.

Multi-Day Workshops

Workshops give us time to slow down, build good habits and complete meaningful projects such as spinning tops, rattles, bowls and ornaments. I emphasize safe technique, tool control and why each cut works.

Demonstrations

Select the format and topic that best fits your club or group. I tailor each demonstration to the audience, explain both the how and the why, and make room for questions throughout. Demos can be tailored to your club’s interests and experience level.

 

Choose a 90–120 minute in person club demonstration, IRD for $400 or an all-day or hands-on demonstration for $800 per day.
