A Two-Part Woodturning Class (Beginner-Friendly)

Create a beautiful and functional salt & pepper shaker set on the lathe—perfect for your kitchen or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

In this two-part class, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of turning a matched set of shakers from solid hardwood. You’ll build skills progressively, completing one shaker in each session while developing confidence and control on the lathe.

Part 1: Group Session
We’ll begin together in a supportive group setting where you’ll:

• Learn lathe safety and basic woodturning techniques
• Practice tool control and shaping cuts
• Turn and shape your first shaker
• Begin sanding and refining the surface

Part 2: Individual Follow-Up Session
Return for a one-on-one session tailored to you, where you’ll:

• Turn your second shaker with improved technique and confidence
• Focus on creating a matching profile
• Refine shaping, sanding, and finishing skills
• Drill and fit shaker tops for a polished final set

By the end of the class, you’ll have a handcrafted salt & pepper set and a strong foundation in woodturning fundamentals.

No prior experience needed—just bring your curiosity and creativity.
