Learn basic woodturning skills at Cambo Estate with Jon Warnes We will be working in the new woodturning workshop and using timber grown on the estate. Students will be introduced to wood selection and preparation, methods of work holding on the lathe, safe use and selection of tools and a range of sharpening techniques. Students will be able to have a go at a range of simple projects and take home completed items. No previous experience is needed but hurry to book as places are very limited. Sessions run from 10.30 am to 12.30 and 1.30 – 3.30 pm every Thursday. Call 01333 450054 to book

Tutor Jon Warnes has been working with wood for over 20 years. He is particularly interested in working with “green” (recently cut) wood as it is beautiful to turn and produces minimal dust. He has been making indoor and outdoor furniture to commission and also carves spoons. jon.warnes@zen.co.uk
