In this class students will learn all about wood turning and all the ways it is used in our lives.  Starting with making personalized mallets to fit our grip, we will learn the different processes of creating shapes in woodturning.  With these skills we will create our very own stool.  Students will design and create their own unique legs through spindle turning.  Students will also learn how to make and use a wedged, mortise and tenon joint for attaching our legs, giving us a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture to use in our everyday life, Throughout this process, students will also have the opportunity to discuss and create their own small projects. We will cover techniques of painting, using stenciling, mask and layering, and distressed sanding.
