Woodturning an Airbrushed Platter

You can unleash your creativity in this exciting woodturning course at the workshop by crafting a stunning wide-rim platter. Martin will be there to guide and inspire you, demonstrating top-notch techniques for turning and finishing the platter to a perfect standard for airbrushing.

You’ll also have the opportunity to experiment with the remarkable water-based Intrinsic Colour Collection.

While time may be limited to exactly replicate the course illustration, you can confidently craft a piece showcasing your unique style and creative flair. After completing the decorating process, we’ll return to the lathe to add the finishing touches to our creations.
Expect to complete your work by 4:00 p.m., but be prepared for a slight overrun if necessary!.
