"I had two days tuition with George
Foweraker, wanting to improve my techniques after about 10
years of largely self-taught turning. The course didn't
start too well for me as a left hander, who had always
turned left handed. George told me that I had to change to
using all tools right handed. I nearly walked out! However,
I decided to give it a try and the results, after a slow
start, more than justified the change. The speed and ease of
turning and the finish on the bowls I made under
George's careful guidance were a huge improvement on
what I had been able to do previously. I've now had a
chance to try his approaches out in my own workshop and have
confirmed their value. What with George's advice and the
wonderful soup made by his wife, Susan it was a great and
very worthwhile two days."
