Woodturning: Turning Jewellery with Carl Durance | February 7, 2026 - February 8, 2026

In this 2-day workshop, Carl Durance will guide you through the process as you learn how to use a lathe to create a vast array of unique jewellery, featuring natural wood colour and grain, wood laminations, and stabilized wood.

Topics will include safety, wood selection, tool selection, sharpening, design considerations, sizing, and finishing.

A variety of turning techniques will be included such as indexing and offset‐turning. A number of jigs can be used in the process; both commercial and shop‐made jigs will be demonstrated.

Each participant will have the opportunity to make a necklace pendant, bracelet, and ring. Hand‐made wooden jewellery makes great gifts for family and friends!

This is a two day workshop. Each day will begin at 9:00 am and end at around 4:00 pm. The workshop will be held at Intersections Wood Collaborative at 299 10th Street E., Owen Sound.
