Dear All,

The next Wednesday afternoon opening will be Wednesday 3rd January 2018.
A happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to all.
Keep on turning!

Introduction to Woodturning Course 2018
The next Introduction to Woodturning Course will be taken by me, and held in our premises in Castle Douglas starting on Thursday 22nd March for 6 weeks, ending on Thursday 26th April 2018.
Each session starts at 7 pm and we aim to be finished at 9 pm, and consists of 3 sessions on spindle turning (long thin things) and three sessions on faceplate turning (short flat things).
The aim of the course is to teach turning, and not necessarily make a ‘thing’, however we often do end up with something recognisable by pure coincidence. Quality shavings, techniques and fun is what we are after, and we always achieve that.
