STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:In the recent past\, drinking and eating from wooden cups and b
 owls was quite commonplace in places with forested lands. This was especia
 lly true in the Scandinavian countries like Norway and Sweden\, both of wh
 ich have rich Ale bowl traditions. But in places like Japan the use of woo
 den tableware never ended and wooden cups and bowls are still used in dail
 y life. In contrast to the West\, where bowls are mostly turned with side 
 grain orientation\, in Japan they are traditionally end grain-turned and f
 inished with urushi lacquer. End grain allows the maker to turn very thin 
 vessels that are still strong. In this course we will explore end grain tu
 rning on an electric lathe. Jarrod Dahl will teach turning techniques info
 rmed by his experiences as an end grain cup turner and his research of his
 toric cups in Europe as well as end grain turning techniques he learned in
  Japan. Students will use modern lathe turning tools and lesser known hook
  tools. Basic roughing\, hollowing\, and fine finish turning with both dry
  and green wood will be covered. Students will also discuss tool design\, 
 use and care for woodenware\, drying greenwood\, and wood finishes such as
  hardening oils\, urushi lacquer\, and ceramic finishes. Students will lea
 rn how to apply milk paint and Hassui Ceramic to their cups. This course r
 equires the ability to stand at the lathe. Required Tools All tools will b
 e provided by the instructor and the school.
