Monday 4th - Turning Hook Tool Forging with Oliver Klotzek
If you have just begun or are deep in your experience of Pole Lathe Bowl Turning then forging your own tools in an organic next step. Forging the necessary tools is a relatively simple process that most experienced turners end up doing regularly as they need new tools. When you know how to forge hook tools you are then more easily able to customize tools for the job you need them for.
During this class students will learn to forge one hook tool for Pole Lathe Bowl Turning. We will bring the forge, the anvil, the tools, and all other materials & machines needed to forge turning hooks.
Materials Fee: 25€ to be paid directly to Oliver at the Festival.
Skill Level/Prerequisite’s: Open to All Levels! If you have some experience with forging tools you’re welcome to make a specialized tool for cup turning, Locking Lid Boxes or Nesting.
Minimum age: 16 years old
Workshops start after our morning circle around 9:30 am and end around 5 or 6 pm.
Oliver speaks English & German.
If language is a barrier we are confident you will learn even if you speak or understand broken English. So much of the learning depends on seeing, feeling, and hearing the sounds as well.
IMPORTANT- Festival Tickets are booked separately and in addition to workshops. Please be sure you have booked your ticket before booking workshops!
