View allAbout This Event
The Wood Turn & Teach workshop takes place on 18 October 2026 at Makespace Secure Workshop in Cambridge. This trial event utilises two lathes to allow participants to work on projects while receiving advice on technique and process. Attendees are encouraged to bring current or recent work along with questions and ideas for discussion.
A trial type of event that came out of the Turn & Talk series to bring the MakeSpace Woodturning community closer together, be you new to the craft or an experienced turner. Inspired by the number of wonderful clubs that have recently been established, this will be more of a hands-on event. The idea is to utilise the 2 lathes to work on your projects, while I'm available in/near the Woodshop (probably doing some assembly) for questions and advice on technique & process. Bring your current or recent work, bring your questions and ideas. Because there are (only) two lathes, maybe aim for something you can work on for an hour, so others get a chance too, if there is high demand. I will bring demo pieces for inspiration, if people are interested, and of course I'll be on hand to answer questions while the lathes are occupied, but hopefully everyone will get a go to solidify their techniques and get feedback, if helpful. I hope to see many of you there and, if you're interested, ask me about the next Cambridge & Ely Woodturners Club meetings. **Note:** You'll need to be a signed-off member to work on the lathe, but everyone is welcome to come chat and get inspired.
