South Holland Club Offers Free Woods Turning Lesson

South Holland Club Offers Free Wood Turning Lessons

If you are interested in turning a log into a unique work of art, Illiana Woodturners can get you started. The not-for-profit club is offering free wood lathe lessons to anyone interested in creating bowls or other wood art. The hands-on instruction will be given by Bob Bergstrom, a master turner who regularly gives demonstrations to wood turning clubs in the Chicago area.

The free, three-hour sessions are designed as an introduction to wood turning and illustrate the ease in which scrap logs can be turned into beautiful hand-made pieces. Individuals usually leave with a completed bowl at the end of one or two sessions. Personal, one-on-one turning lessons are available at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and 5 p.m. on Wednesdays at 16236 Vincennes Avenue in South Holland. Reservations are recommended (call 708-597-9049).
