Learn to Turn Lidded Containers - 4 Classes I love how a lidded piece hides a mysterious private space, or a valuable object. Curiosity draws me over to lift the lid and see what’s inside. Lidded Containers offer us some turning challenges, and wonderful design opportunities. In this series on Learning to Turn Lidded Containers, I will teach you the skills to move from turning a small lidded box, to creating a piece with more complexity. We will explore Natural Edges, Fitted Lids, Finials, Pedestals, Coloring, and Finishes. Each Session is $20 per person Includes a Follow-up Q&A Session and 6 months of video replay Start time for all Sessions is 1pm Eastern, 15:00 UTC. See what time that is in your time zone here
