Date(s): June 3 though June 5. 9am - 5pm. 3 class days Instructor: Andy Glenn Location: Berea College Woodcraft Description: An ideal class for anyone interested in woodturning and lathe use. We'll structure the class into three parts: Day One: learning the lathe and practicing different cuts and techniques. We'll also cover safety and sharpening on day one. Day Two: Parts making. We'll shape the legs, stretchers and top of our tables.Day Three: Complete the parts and assemble.Wood turning is a great entry point into woodworking and furniture making. It's fun, that's the best thing about it. And it's also immediate. As you learn and become more comfortable at the lathe, you'll produce pieces at a quickening pace. We'll cover the basics in this class and make the charming side table. Going forward after the class, there are plenty of directions to continue with turning: more furniture, bowl turning, pens, vessels, or rolling pins. The lathe opens all sorts of design possibilities for furniture and craft pieces. Tool List: Tape Measure Pencil Combination Square   Berea College has re-opened the former Kelly Mehler School of Woodworking under the leadership of Berea College Head of Woodcraft Andy Glenn as The Woodworking School at Pine Croft. Both Andy and Berea College are dedicated to preserving the fundamental character the school has been known for as we move the school into its next phase.  The Woodworking School at Pine Croft further supports Berea College’s 120-year commitment to the preservation and promotion of craft. While in some ways woodworking is an individual pursuit, there are common traits that connect across makers: a desire to expand our skills, furnish our homes, surround ourselves with the handmade, and join a community of dedicated craftspeople. We believe that craft can both preserve traditions and beauty – and that craft can act as a counterbalance to a disposable and consumer-reliant world. Making is essential to us. We are excited to share a place where students can grow in their skills and fulfill their creative pursuits. Providing opportunities to work with leading instructors who come from diverse backgrounds and have different woodworking perspectives. All are welcome to attend
