John C. Campbell Folk School

I just spent a fun week at John C. Campbell Folk School, taking a hollow form class with Rudy Lopez. It's the first time I've been a student there, and it was a nice change from being an instructor (e.g., just a week of fun turning without any responsibilities). The folk school experience is fantastic - good company, good food, a beautiful campus, hiking trails, music, and more.

I will be teaching two classes next May - one is a long weekend, the other is a week long. Registration is now open. It would be great to see women in my classes. This past week, I was the only woman. When I taught in 2024, I had no women students.

Here are the hollow forms I made over the course of five days.

Join me for a class at Marc Adams!

If you've ever wanted to learn how I go about making wood art, you have a chance at the end of May. I'm teaching a class at Marc Adams School of Woodworking May 24-28, 2021. Here's a link to the class (Beyond the Form: Exploring Texture, Carving, and Color in Woodturning).

This class will start with wood turning and progress into surface enhancement techniques. I’m anticipating a very fun week and would love for you to join me there. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here’s an example of a sampler bowl that we’ll do in the class.
