Jim Scarsella class at the CMW TLC (10/10)
About this event
Jim Scarsella will teach a day-long class
at CMW's Turning Learning Center in Arden, NC
Friday, October 10, 2025
[Note that Jim's prior obligations make it necessary to hold this class on a Friday, the day before his demonstration at the Folk Art Center]
About the class
LIDDED BOWL MAKING
Participants will learn techniques, steps involved, and tools used to make various types of woodturned boxes. Topics covered will include wood selection, lid fit, tools, hollowing, and design considerations.
Jim's work often involves a high degree of ornamentation including carving. These will not be taught in this class, but Jim will discuss how his turning technique prepares bowls for such next-level work including elements such as wall thickness.
More information can be found on Jim's process on the document to be found at

Notes for prospective class registrants
The only expectation of participants is that they will be comfortable turning bowls. Jim will work with participants at their level, novice to experienced.
No special tools are required other than bowl gouges. They are available for use at the TLC and participants are welcome to bring their own.
Jim Scarsella is a turner, furniture maker and artist with over four decades of experience making functional art from wood and metal. With a love of Folk Art and color, much of Jim’s current work is focused on the box form. Constructed with wood and/or metal, Jim’s work combines the whimsy and color of Folk Art into box forms of all shapes and sizes. This long running series of decorative turned boxes are made on a lathe, then hand carved and painted. A perfect place for housing one’s special treasures.
Jim creates his work from a home studio in Williamsburg, Michigan.
