Carve Something Awesome
Want to make something with your own two hands? Come spend some time at The Turn, where you'll carve raw wood into something worth showing off.
How It Works
Our classes operate like an open gym membership with a personal trainer to guide you through your projects. Purchase Class Passes, then select the dates and times you would like to attend. When you show up, we will have all the tools and wood to get you started. Classes are 3-hours long, with the exception of the Quarter Turn. You may redeem your passes in one day by taking a morning and an evening class. Or over the course of a week or month. Want to setup a routine for yourself? Come once per week on the same day and time. You are welcome to do that too.
1. Choose Your Class Package
Quarter Turn - $50 - One-Hour Project. Select a project from the Beginner List
Half Turn - $180 - 2 Class Passes - you'll complete two to four projects
Full Turn - $360 - 5 Class Passes - you'll complete several projects
2. Choose Your Class Dates and Times
Check our schedule below to see available days and times. Whether you prefer mornings, evenings, or weekends we offer regular weekly sessions that work for you.
3. Choose Your First Project
A lot of beginners want to turn a bowl. That's a great place to start. Be warned, however, once you make a bowl you'll want to do it again and again and again and again.
Below is a list of projects you can turn. Choose one or two so we can prepare materials for you when you arrive.
