I had the privilege of attending a 3day Master Bowl Turning class with Ashley Harwood in her studio in Charleston, South Carolina. Even as a bowl turner with 5+ years experience and 100+ bowls under my belt, I learned a ton in this class and Ashley shares a few of these things here. In class, Ashley Harwood demystifies her bowl turning process, breaking it down into a repeatable sequence that can be learned by anyone. Ashley Harwood learned of lot of her techniques from the famous woodturner, Stuart Batty, but Ashley adds her own flair to the techniques that she teaches in her bowl turning master class. This class was a game changer for me and I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to take their bowl turning to a new level.
