Events Calendar
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’ve got a special treat for our turning enthusiasts. On Saturday, February 14, Marcus Jones will take the lathe in a creative direction with a project that blends technique, precision, and a bit of holiday charm: a heart‑shaped bowl with a round inner cavity.
Marcus will demonstrate how he combines two advanced methods -- the bowl‑in‑a‑bowl technique and the square‑bowl technique -- to produce a beautifully sculpted heart‑shaped outer form. The result is a striking bowl or platter that’s perfect as a gift, a display piece, or a new challenge for your turning repertoire.
To keep the focus on the turning process, Marcus will bring a pre‑cut heart‑shaped blank, prepared on the bandsaw. He’ll walk through:
-
How to design and lay out the heart pattern
-
Tips for safely and accurately cutting the blank
-
How the two bowl‑forming techniques interact to create the final shape
-
Strategies for clean transitions and crisp edges on non‑round forms
Whether you’re a seasoned turner looking to expand your skill set or a newer turner curious about shaping beyond the traditional circle, this demo offers a unique look at a hybrid turning approach that opens the door to all kinds of creative possibilities.
Come join us for a fun, festive, and technique‑packed session -- and maybe leave inspired to make your own Valentine’s Day masterpiece.
