We were so lucky to have hosted the talented @yoav We were so lucky to have hosted the talented @yoav.kafets at our workshop a few weeks back. .

He also taught a two day course, giving participants the opportunity to dive deeper into pole lathe techniques as well as turning at least one bowl and one cup! . All students came away with a greater appreciation of the craft as well as a thirst to continue creating stunningly beautiful and ergonomic every-day objects. . Here are some photo highlights from the courses he taught that weekend. .
