Next Steps: Sculptural Containers with Beth Ireland

This workshop is an excellent next step for anyone who has already begun to learn the fundamentals of woodturning.  Beth leads participants through a series of projects that utilize proper spindle and end-grain turning techniques to create boxes, vessels, and bowls. Additionally, students learn to make custom tools for hollowing and specialized applications.

Beth emphasizes safe and efficient tool handling throughout. She also creates a supportive atmosphere in which students can develop their creative voices. Among the decorative skills she covers are architectural carving for twists and patterns, offset turning, and pyrography.
