Segmented Turning Workshops

[Charlie]

I held five workshops in 2014 and five in 2015 (w/5-6 attendees per workshop). I believe they were all well received and everyone had a great time.

Since that time, there have been several people that have expressed interest in attending a workshop.

If there are enough people interested, I would like to hold workshops on any Saturday/s and/or Sunday/s in February and/or March. Weekdays can also work.

This will not be a hands on workshop, because that would be too time consuming. I have done several one on one sessions with several members, but a basic/small turning can take 10-12 hours. That makes for a long day.

You will see the basic steps that I use, from start to finish, including design, cutting segments, gluing up rings, stacking rings, turning as you go, etc., etc.

The workshop would last 4-5 hours. We would start about 10:00 and go from there. Lunch will be served.

If you are interested, please reply to this thread and specify if any particular date works for you.

Best of all, the workshop and lunch are free.

I've seen several of your turnings first hand (and in my hands) and I'm interested in seeing your process and spickity-span workshop. I'm not a turner so I'll defer to the turners who want to attend.

Saturdays or weekdays are fine for me.

I went to one in 2014 I believe. Enjoyed what I learned and saw. If for no other reason just to see your shop. I would be interested again. If there's room.

I am interested in a segmented workshop. Have been turning a couple of years but nothing a complex as segmented. February would be a little better for me.

 

[ScottM]

Yes please.... Prefer a Saturday or even a week day.

Charlie, I would consider it a real privilege to learn from a master craftsman such as yourself. Weekdays or weekends could work for me.

Sign me up! Any chance to learn from another member is great. Saturday works best, but a day off of work would be a win win. :icon_cheers

If you need any help setting up getting ready let me know. Be glad to help!

I would be interested. I have made basic brick style but would be interested in the layout of the more intricate styles.

 

[Charlie]

Thanks for all the responses. I will wait a few more days to see if anyone else responds and then I will try to work out a schedule.

GO! I had the privilege to have some one on one time with Charlie several years ago and learned a lot in a short period of time. He is a true artist.

I am interested. Can do Saturdays or Sundays any weekend except for next weekend Feb 3-4

 

[golfdad]

I am interested. Depends on the date

 

[SteveColes]

I would be very interested

 

[Dee2]

Interested.
And, thank you.

I would be interested in a "next step" workshop, something that would focus on feature rings and more advanced glue ups, if you were to ever offer something like that.

 

[Sam Knight]

I would also be interested, depending on the date. My 12hr rotating work schedule may prove tough for me to attend but can try. Days off during the week as well so throw some dates out there and I can check my schedule. Thanks for offering to teach us!
