🎄 Solo Woodturning Ornament Experience
A relaxing 2-hour creative session where you’ll finish your own custom turned hanging ornament—perfect as a unique keepsake or handmade gift. Tailored for solo participants, this experience is ideal for travelers, creatives, and anyone looking to try something different in a real working studio.
 
✨ What You'll Do
While I turn the piece (due to its complexity), you will finish and personalise it yourself under my guidance:
• Watch as I shape the ornament in two stages
• You then sand, seal, wax and embellish with your choice of colours (10 options!)
• Apply gold wax & high-gloss finish
• Fit the hook eye and select a ribbon to complete your piece
 
👉 Want to try turning too?
Check out the Ornament Making Plus Experience for 1 Person, gives you the chance to turn your own basic wood piece on the lathe, and still finish an ornament just like in this session—ideal if you'd like to get more involved.
