Let’s Learn to Turn a Wood Bowl

Bowl Turning Workshop

Whether you are a novice or seeking a refresher course in turning, this basic bowl turning class offers a delightful and fulfilling way to discover the simple joys of woodturning. Unlike many woodworking projects that may take days or even weeks to finish, turned wooden bowls can be crafted within a few hours.

You will learn how to turn a 4′ – 6″ wide / 2′ – 3″ deep bowl focusing on tool selection, sharpening techniques for gouges, finishing options, and safe operation of the lathe.

This class is also available for experienced turners, where we delve deeper into advanced topics such as the fingernail grind, hollowing techniques, and other of interest you wish to explore.

Note: This class requires a minimum age of 15. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Instructor

About Dan Katz

Woodworking is my muse—a canvas of endless possibilities. The grain’s texture, the earthy scent, the myriad shapes—it all amazes me. My journey began with grade school projects and blossomed at Bucks Rock as a camper and counselor. From theater sets to boat building, I’ve embraced woodturning as my core hobby. Now, as a marketer turned woodworking teacher, I’m thrilled to share the joy of “making” with others. Let’s shape creativity together!

Materials and Tools

We provide a set of bowl blanks ready for turning as well as a suite of gouges and other tools and safety equipment.

Reclaimed wood used in this class.
