Woodturning courses are conducted throughout the year, scheduled as required and for members only. The three day course is conducted at the club on Saturdays.

Participants are taught lathe familiarisation & operation, and how to safely use and control hand tools. Small turning projects completed during the course may include a small bowl, a platter and a small vase, with other projects attempted as time permits. Class sizes are restricted so that individual attention is guaranteed. Attendees receive a Certificate of Completion.
