Vase - one day Nick Agar Class
What is the Vase Class all about?
Limit 8 students – Click here to signup
“A project that paid my rent for over a decade!”
This vase type of form lends itself to good spindle practice at the lathe.
8″ x 3″ thick spindle stock (wood supplied).
The Top part of the form is an inverted cone like a trumpet. The body like a heart or apple and the stem of a wine glass all together to make a pleasing shape.
We will drill a hole but not do any actual hollowing work in the class due to time restrictions but will of course discuss the potential, plus possibly adding glass or plastic vials that take water etc.
We will learn bead and cove cuts as well as some planning with the skew and bowl gouge.
Decorative areas may be added by choice of each student to the body of the vase by texture tools, airbrush or whatever is available.
The 3/8″-1/2″ spindle gouge, skew, parting tool and 1/2″ fingernail profiled bowl gouge will all be put to good use, sharpening advice, work holding, revert turning and safety all covered.
