UK Don White For over 20 years Don White has been among the leading Bowl-turners in the U.K. Believing passionately that there is no substitute for the discipline of repetition to hone one’s skills enabling the natural progression to more advanced individual work. His range of domestic-ware is stocked by good quality kitchen-ware shops. The more ‘individual pieces’ are sold through selected galleries and exhibitions with the Devon, Cornwall and Gloucestershire Guilds of Craftsmen.

WOODTURNING
These short courses are designed to help woodturners, beginners or
beyond, of all ages and levels of ability to improve their skills at
this most satisfying of traditional crafts. In a relaxed and informal
environment — my workshop is part of my home which is typical of
Burgundian architecture — you can learn professionnal techniques quite
easily through a combination of hands-on experience and individual
tuition. No previous experience of working with wood is necessary ; for
example, beginners will be using the roughing gouge within fifteen
minutes of starting. Of course, all the objects you make will be yours
to take home.
TIMETABLE : woodturning courses every morning from Monday to Saturday (6
half-days).Tour or free time : every afternoon.
