Thinker Maker Space of CYENS presents “Turn wood log into candle”, a workshop by resident artist sasha tishkov.
The workshop will begin with an introduction to woodturning and the creative possibilities it offers as a form of craft. Participants will start by drawing a design for a candle stand, then learn how to place the wood on the lathe correctly and begin the turning process. The workshop will cover how to use different chisels to achieve various results. Later, participants, one by one, will have the chance to turn their candle stand designs independently.
