    Description

    Stop by for a FREE wood turning demo led by Northwestern Michigan Woodturner member, Rich Foa.

    Woodturning has a long history, going back to 1300 BC Egypt. Unique in relation to most woodworking, due to its use of a lathe, woodturners turn out practical, functional pieces or “turn” to the purely aesthetic. Each craftsman brings their own personal artistic vision to the objects they create, and the pieces in maple, cherry, and other wood from far and near (some reclaimed from the northern Michigan region), offer a unique look at the “personality” within the wood itself. 

    Rich is featured in The Gallery Shop on Sixth and will be teaching an introductory woodturning class this fall for students 13 and older.
