Creating Characters – Make a Viking Gnome

Using basic spindle turning tools, this session focuses on spindle grain turning to create a small, character-filled viking. In addition to reviewing basic tool application, attendees will learn techniques used to join multiple complimentary forms to compose a unique figurine. This session will showcase what basic tools and simple embellishment techniques will allow you to do with a handful of spindle grain wood blanks. Once you learn to turn a viking, you’ll be able to apply the basics to create unique character of your own!
