I’m once again running wooden pen making workshops at MakerLabs on a monthly basis starting January 16th.
Everyone loves wooden pens! Wooden pens are easy to make and joy to use. They are also a unique and inexpensive gift. No woodworking or wood lathe experience is required. All required materials and tools will be provided and each participant will take away a completed Slimline twist pen.
I’ve run this workshop numerous times for various groups including the VHS, MakerLabs, Pacific Woodworkers Guild, Tetra Society and numerous private classes. This a fun and informative workshop and everyone takes home a wooden pen that they’ve made themselves. It is also a great introduction to woodturning for those with little or no experience.
If you are interested in signing up for a workshop you can do so at https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/home?studioid=664 Just a reminder that MakerLabs has graciously agreed to extend MakerLabs Member pricing to VHS members who sign up for this workshop.
Here are a few pens made by students at a previous workshops:
