Family Penguin Woodturning Experience Session

£120.00

Join us and try your hand at woodturning!

Over the course of around 3 hours, you and your family will be expertly guided through the process of making your own cute turned wooden penguin.

Sessions can be booked for families up to 4 people. Note that as I have 3 lathes there will be some taking turns but everyone will get the opportunity to complete their penguin.

I have taught children as young as 8 to do this but for those less than 10 years old I will hold the tools with them to ensure safe operation. 

Under 18s must be accompanied by a Parent or Guardian (either as a fellow turner or an observer).

All experience sessions are in my workshop based in the Westbury Wildlife Park in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol.

See https://trymwoodcraft.co.uk/experiences for more details.

Slots available:

  • Mondays 2-5pm

  • Mondays 5-8pm

  • Wednesdays 5-8pm

  • Sundays 2-5pm

Either book now and I will be in contact to arrange your session, or alternatively send me a message using my contact form https://trymwoodcraft.co.uk/contact to confirm a date/time slot first.

I am happy to discuss tailoring sessions and considering other times. Please let me know if you have any particular requests before booking.

  • Please be aware that woodturning involves standing up at the lathe for long periods.

  • There will be a tea break partway through the session, either at the Westbury Wildlife Park Foundation cafe if during open hours or provided by Trym Woodcraft.

  • Under 18s should be accompanied by a parent or guardian who can either be another participant (please book their place at the same time) or as an observer.
