Beginner Bowl Turning Workshop

Discover the fundamentals of bowl turning in a small, hands-on workshop at Oak & Ember in Kinsale. Guided step by step, you will learn how to prepare a timber blank, use the lathe safely, shape the exterior and hollow the bowl before sanding and applying a natural finish.

Designed for complete beginners, the session focuses on practical guidance, an unhurried pace and the character of the timber itself. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own hand-turned bowl and a first understanding of the traditional tools and techniques behind the craft.
