Bowl Turning Masterclass

This promo for Ashley Harwood’s Bowl Turning Masterclass is set to music, and its on-screen text describes the class: an intensive class that refines the processes of bowl turning using the push cut, in which students learn to achieve the best cut from the gouge, whether on wet or dry wood.

According to the promo, tool sharpening, wood curing, bowl design, sanding techniques and cutting logs for bowls are all discussed, and students turn thin-walled bowls, including wet wood, natural edge and dry wood bowls. The promo recommends some bowl turning experience.

When the promo was made, classes were offered at her studio in Charleston, South Carolina, and limited to five students to maximize hands-on instruction. All tools, safety equipment, materials and lunches were provided, and all lathes were full sized. The promo urges students to sign up as soon as possible, saying space is limited and classes sell out quickly, and ends on ashleyharwood.com.
