Pen turning is an enjoyable way to get started using a lathe. This short 4-hour workshop will introduce you to Brookfield Craft Center’s state-of-the-art wood turning studio, and teach you all the basic techniques in creating your own Slim Line Pen. You will leave with a unique writing instrument that you created yourself. The instructor will show how to align the grain, square the ends, turn the wood, apply a finish and assemble the parts. A studio/materials fee of $15 is due at time of registration. Students under age 16, please call for details.

Brookfield Craft Center's Sampler Workshops are designed with the beginner in mind. These short, low-cost workshops eliminate the intimidation of trying a new art medium and using a new studio. You might just find your new artistic calling, but you will never know unless you give it a try.
