Looking for a teacher

[Hutch9022]

I live in Carroll County. I was wondering if there was anyone near me that would be willing to allow me to have some one on one sessions to learn more about this craft.

Welcome. There should be someone in your area. Also, look at www.woodturner.org for a listing of local chapters. I belong to one in Dalton, GA and it's well worth it. The members offer a lot of talent and willing to share with others. Penturners and other wood turning with monthly demonstrations of different techniques, etc.

Here is the map of members (who have signed up to the map) There are two not too far from you but both of their last post was in late 2017

IAP Member Map - International Association of Penturners

Georgia has a good many members here on IAP. Click on the map and click on GA and it will show the location of members.

Micheal,
I don't have teachers certificate, but you are welcome to come up and learn how to take a piece of beautiful wood and turn it into shavings and dust. It was good to see you at our IAP meeting and I look forward to seeing you again.

If you get out to Marietta you are always welcome to stop by and turn a pen.

Same here in Alpharetta.

Hutch9022, you can see how the members reach out to new people. Attending meetings are a good way to learn. Also, have you looked at the link I posted earlier? Don't be intimidated by some of the things displayed as there are woodturners who have years of experience and turn some real wood art. This website, too, is a great way to learn about woodturning.

Nothing beats one on one and being able to SEE what the "student" is doing and correct it.



However, if you find yourself with a little time, late in the evening or other "inconvenient" times, you are welcome to view our free videos and learn from them.

I agree. I availed myself of many of Ed's videos and learned much,
