About the Class
Creating & Using Custom Color Accent Waxes for Burned Surfaces
Torching wood after turning can create wonderful textures that beg for color! Demonstrators in recent years have shown variations of the concept but all lean heavily on their existing stash of a commercial product that was no longer in production. I figured out a way to make my own custom colors using common materials. Join me as we focus on basic burning as a finishing technique, common design issues unique to burning, as well as creating and using custom colors. We’ll start with small pre-turned pieces so we can jump quickly into the process, problems, and solutions. Time permitting, you can turn, burn, and custom color a small new piece from a provided blank. Class is open to all skill levels.
Blanks and equipment will be provided.
Bring an oven mitt or leather glove for their left hand if you want to be extra cautious.
I’ve been turning as a hobby since the mid-90’s with a primary focus on functional pieces (handles, knobs, pens, seam rippers, basic bowls, etc). After moving to Asheville in late 2015 and joining CMW, I’ve picked up a lot of new insights, skills, and experiences. Small projects like vases and ornaments are among my favorite “canvases” for exploring new techniques and material.
