What to expect
After a welcome drink and a safety briefing your tutor will discuss your individual requirements, e.g. improving skew work, finishing etc.
We use the widely recognised teaching process of "Tell, Show, Do" where your tutor will actively demonstrate the process and correct techniques.
By the end of the session you will come away with an increased knowledge and skill set to put to use in your own workshop.
This course is not for beginners, you should already have at least the basic woodturning skills.
If you are just beginning to turn then we recommend a full one or two day course.
Our half day Woodturning Skills Improvement Course is limited to just one student at any time to ensure that your tutor can focus on your individual requirements.

I recently attended the woodturning bowl course, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. As someone with no prior experience of bowl turning, the course exceeded all my expectations.
From the start, Ian was incredibly welcoming and patient. He explained every step clearly, from safety, tool selection and technique, and finishing techniques. The hands-on guidance made all the difference—I never felt rushed or overwhelmed, even when learning to use unfamiliar tools.
The workshop was well-equipped and organized, with everything needed provided. I got to make my own wooden bowl from scratch, and was amazed at how professional mine turned out by the end of the day. The sense of accomplishment was huge!
What stood out most was the relaxed, encouraging atmosphere. Mistakes were treated as learning opportunities, and no question was too small.
If you’ve ever been curious about woodturning, I can’t recommend this course highly enough. It’s a great way to get started, and you’ll walk away with a beautiful handmade bowl and the confidence to keep turning. I shall certainly be doing some of the other courses Ian offers!
Attending the bowl making course today with Ian,I had a great day with a excellent teacher who explained everything in a way that a person new to turning would understand, came away with a lovely bowl. Highly recommend this course.
Great fun day learning how to turn a bowl!
Great corse, excellent patient instruction, really enjoyed the day, recommended.
Thanks for a really helpful afternoon session with Ian Davenport yesterday. Good teacher. Will come again
