Turning wood into functional works and pieces of art is the practice of woodturning. Highly decorative Christmas ornaments, bowls and sculptures are among the many exquisite objects that can be created.
The Cumberland Woodturners in association with the Plateau Creative Arts Center is offering an opportunity to learn woodturning. Students will complete a safety training course and ongoing training sessions with members of The Cumberland Woodturners.
Students can expect to learn how to safely work with high-speed wood lathes, routers, sanders, planers, bandsaws and chisels. After successful completion of the safety training, students will receive a Certificate that will allow them to have access to the Roane State College woodturning facilities for a monthly use fee. Participants who join the Cumberland Woodturners organization will also have access to the facilities at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology located at 910 Miller Avenue, Bay 308 in Crossville.
Cumberland Woodturners members have access to club training programs, supplies, donated wood and ongoing support and mentoring.
