About the Workshop
In this workshop, we'll explore how to interpret natural elements and incorporate those motifs into your turned objects. Elizabeth will walk us through the tools, tips, and techniques for creating these designs, including layout strategies and methods. She will demonstrate the use of rotary carvers and woodburners for surface embellishment.
Finally, we’ll look at ways to bring color into your work using milk paint, and explore finishing options to complete and protect your piece.
