We have decided to continue our blog to include some of the more interesting things we are getting up to now that we have finished work.

As part of Glenys's leaving present from Pool School, she was given a voucher for a two-day course in wood turning at the craft workshop of Philip Greenwood in Hutton-le-Hole. I joined her for the course and we had a super time and the two days flew by with expert tuition from Philip.

We learned about centring, roughing, spindle turning, cutting different shaped grooves, turning beads and coves, turning bowls, parting and finishing.
This photo shows one of the egg cups just about completed.


At the end of the course we had each completed a carrier bag handle, an egg cup, a bowl and a trinket box with matching lid.
