Pole lathe turning with Yoav Kafets


Bowl turning course
at Hackney City Farm.

We were so lucky to have hosted the talented Yoav Kafets at our workshop a few weeks back.

Yoav taught a one day improver’s bowl turning course aimed at people with previous experience on the pole lathe. 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.

If pole lathe turning is something you want to explore, you can sign up to a one day course with one of London Green Wood’s experienced turners.
