Woodturning: Plate with Basket Illusion Rim
Woodturning: Plate with Basket Illusion Rim with Jeff Hornung
Learn to turn a wooden platter that resembles a woven basket with a colored, beaded rim. In your own shop, with simple tools, discover how to create personalized jigs from scrap wood and then use them to turn a platter that tricks and delights the eyes. Gain a deeper understanding of wood choice, pattern design, and shape, and try out applying color and wood-burned embellishment as you explore your own unique style. Students should have access to a lathe, hand tools, a band saw, and come with basic knowledge of turning a platter or bowl.
This class is presented in collaboration with John C. Campbell Folk School and Lessonface. Class capacity is 14 students. Registration closes on March 15, 2024. Students are invited to attend a large group Orientation and Closing Ceremony to connect with various classes online.

Lovely! I love the ability to have done all this from home. Jeff is an excellent teacher and the class was well paced and accessible- not just digitally but tools required etc.

Class was wonderful; I learned a lot, particularly as a result of Jeff's willinginess to spend time talking about sharpening tools and the correct way to sharpen. This has become a real hurdle to my improvement in turning, so I was grateful for that time.
