Private One-On-One Woodturning Experience in a Working Artisan Studio

Learn to Turn with an experienced woodturning artist in a private woodturning studio

An Introduction to Woodturning

This private, one-on-one workshop offers a thoughtful introduction to woodturning in a working artisan shop in Kennebunk, Maine. Designed for complete beginners, the experience focuses on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the satisfaction of creating something by hand.

In a focused three-hour session, participants will learn the fundamentals of woodturning while working directly with the instructor in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

The Experience

Unlike larger group classes, this workshop is intentionally personal. Instruction is tailored to each participant and paced comfortably, with an emphasis on proper technique, control, and understanding the process behind the craft.

Workshop Includes

  • One private 3-hour session

  • One-on-one instruction

  • All tools and materials provided

  • Safety instruction and guidance throughout

  • No prior experience necessary

What You Will Create

By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a handcrafted piece they created themselves — something functional, meaningful, and built to last.

The goal is not simply to make an object, but to experience the process of craftsmanship firsthand.

About the Studio

This workshop reflects the same approach behind Master Pepper Mills: precision, clean design, and respect for materials. Every piece created in the studio is shaped by hand with a focus on quality and lasting craftsmanship, and the workshop experience follows that same philosophy.

“Taking the ‘Introduction to Woodturning’ workshop with Scott was a wonderful experience! In his very comfortable studio, Scott explained all the equipment, safety precautions, and techniques involved in beginning woodturning. After this, even as a complete novice, I felt comfortable using the tools. I selected a project from many beautiful options, and, with much guidance and patience from Scott, was able to leave with a beautiful, completed maple rolling pin. I love it! I highly recommend this experience with Scott!”

“Scott was a great teacher.  He patiently walked me through the different techniques of woodturning until I felt comfortable with the tools.  His workshop is amazing with every woodworking tool you could imagine!  I left with a finished piece that I created start to finish.”
