In this class, students will transform simple wood disks into wearable pendants. We’ll focus on small-scale turning, clean shaping, and thoughtful detail work.
Students will explore surface enhancement techniques including texture, inlay, and the addition of crushed stone to create contrast and visual interest. These elements elevate each piece from a simple form into something personal and expressive.
Suitable for intermediate turners, this class offers a chance to build skills while creating finished pieces to wear or gift. Students will leave with several completed pendants and new techniques for adding detail and meaning to their work.
