Bodden Cross Studio

Bodden Cross Studio Experience days in Somerset, wood turning and sign carving for beginers. Why choose a Bodden Cross Studio woodturning course?

The Bodden Cross Studio was created by Stephen Stokes to allow people to have fun with wood. Through many years of teaching woodturning Stephen learned many people just want to come and try, but can't commit to days, weeks or months on courses they're not sure they will enjoy. Some of us have jobs where at the end of the day we ask ourselves, "What did I achieve today?" Often it's hard to give a d

efinitive answer. On a Bodden Cross Studio woodturning course you can come and make a wooden bowl, carve a sign, or any one of a multitude of other projects in a day. At the end of the day you will have achieved something. Come and see for yourself what you can create.

He did an amazing job on his bowls on the workbench in the picture. It was lovely to have these three generations here all creating. If you want to have a day of making then please get in touch.
