Pen turning Experience

Pen turning is a wonderful and gentle introduction to woodturning. The end result is a piece you can use every day or give as a gift.

Many turners start out making pens, and some even sell them at craft markets or produce high-end items that go for good money.

On this short course, suitable even if you have no experience at all, running on Sunday mornings, join Martin as he explains pen turning, the kit used before professionally guiding you through the process of making your very own quality rollerball pen.
