Emma Cook: Pedestal Bowl
26th June 2027
£185 per person | Saturday 26th | Maximum 5 students
We're delighted to welcome Emma Cook back to The Woodturning School. She brings genuine passion, infectious energy, and a creative approach to turning that it opens up new possibilities at the lathe.
This course is brand new to Emma’s teaching repertoire and has only been demonstrated a handful of times, so you really will be creating something fresh!
The day will combine both cross-grain and spindle turning so there is a lot to get through! Once the turning it done, we will be carving some texture onto the edge of the piece and adding a bit of colour (if you wish) to highlight it.
The end result will be a beautiful centre piece for a table.
Who is this Class for?
This class is a little more taxing than some of the others I have run so I would not recommend it to beginners or those with little turning experience.
Your Tutor - Emma Cook RPT
We're delighted to welcome Emma Cook back to The Woodturning School. Her previous visits have been hugely popular with students, and it's easy to see why: Emma brings genuine passion, infectious energy, and a creative approach to turning that opens up new possibilities at the lathe.
This time she's sharing two of her signature techniques the faux hollow form and her hand-carved banded bowl giving students the chance to learn skills that go beyond conventional turning into carving and colour finishing. It's going to be a great day.
