Woodturning course

As an elementary natural raw material, wood has been used for over 400,000 years in all areas of life and in all situations: in construction, for furniture production, as a packaging material, in paper production, as a basic chemical material, for energy production or as a raw material for the production of pens. The material is not only beautiful, but also particularly sustainable.

A piece of wood, like the processor itself, has a very individual history. It has grown and been exposed to changing influences, has reacted to them, has adapted. It has suffered damage, wounds and scars. This has given it - as well as its processor - an individual character and made it unique. Wood has a personality.

Our woodturning course deals with the processing of this beautiful material.

The woodturning course teaches

  • Basic concepts of woodturning
  • What can you make out of wood?
  • Production of small gifts according to abilities and time invested
  • Cleaning or restoring older furniture
