Le poivré EN • Turning a pepper mill

This course introduces you to woodturning, a creative technique that allows you to craft unique pieces through the movement and precision of your tools. You’ll learn about the components of the lathe, the tools used, and the basics of woodturning. You’ll then put these concepts into practice by making a mallet and then turning a small object of your choice.

PLEASE NOTE : This course is co-lingual (French–English), which means that francophone and anglophone participants form a single group and attend the same classes. The trainer adjusts the language of teaching to accommodate the group or alternates between French and English. All participants may speak the language of their choice, and the trainer will make sure that everyone understands the content.

It is not necessary to be bilingual to register, but basic understanding of both languages may be helpful. Because this course is based on manual work and individual exploration, it is particularly well suited to this way of working. We consider linguistic diversity an asset, and we ask that you show inclusiveness, kindness, and respect.
