With hand tools and the power of your body, you learn to turn mandrels and forge hook tools for turning. You will also learn to ax out your own bowl blanks and use the foot-operated lathe to turn wooden bowls.

Shrink Pot Carving Course
Shrink boxes are nice projects for beginners as well as more experienced carvers. With just a few tools, you'll learn how to make useful items. These small storage containers can be designed in different ways, with a lot of room for creativity. During the weekend course, we will work with several shrink boxes, from getting our own material from the forest, hollowing out a branch and learning how to insert the bottom of the box. We go through the process of making lids for the boxes, and/or other decoration that can either be completed during the course or later at home. For those of you with more experience and an interest in trying something new, during the weekend there is also the opportunity to try making beautiful wooden bowls at Raleigh's tramp-lathe. The course is mostly held in English.
