Are you looking for things to do in Burnley? Why not try a new and exciting skill? In this all day woodworking class, you can learn how to make beautiful hand-turned pens.

Your friendly teacher will help you get to grips with some techniques and machinery. This workshop is a perfect taster session for people wanting to get into woodworking. We run classes with a maximum of two students to give people the best support.

It also is a really unique gift if you know someone interested in DIY wood projects. Give them a chance to find their new passion with a gift experience.

Your DIY pen will be made from your choice of native or exotic hardwood from our stock as well as very high-quality pen components. Every use of your handmade pen will make you feel so proud of your incredible skills.

At the end of this session, you will have made two pens. You will also have made a functional item such as a doorstop, a European style rolling pin, a spatula, a honey dibber or something else. You will also get videos for you to keep woodworking at home. They will inspire you with a whole world of ideas for projects to use your new skills.

I have a wide range of skills that have been developed through industry experience in a number of fields including TV, Education, and Industrial product development.

I have won numerous national and international awards.

And I just love to make things and help other people achieve their making goals.

I enjoy creating new and interesting things that don't currently exist. If you have an idea I will do my best to help you reach the goal of making it a reality.

I am an experienced teacher with a wide range of skills to share. This page currently focuses on woodturning due to my studio currently being equipped for this discipline.

I intend to add skills to my course offerings as the demand evolves. Currently, I am considering adding classical art-making techneques, Hand tool focus woodworking and Digital creative skills,
