From Angus:

“In my workshop I have three top of the range Hegner VB36 bowlOn a pale grey background, there are small orange and larger blue bubbles scattered around the page. Beside these are some sage green circles made up of diagonal lines. The text reads: "Angus Clyne. Angus Clyne is a professional woodturner and landscape photographer living and working in Perthshire. He produces turned wooden bowls, vessels and sculptures using local sustainable woods. His work is in galleries throughout the UK and USA and included in several public permanent collections including the Shipley Art Gallery and the Scottish Parliament. His award winning photographic images are widely viewed online, exhibited, published and used for book covers." The link to his website (also linked in the main text) is highlighted in light purple. The bottom of the page is lined with the Moniack Mhor logo, the Calman Trust Logo, Abriachan Forest Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, Articulate and Legacy Partners Life Changes Trust logos. Below these is an orange strip with the Moniack Mhor website address and social media handles (@moniackmhor) turning lathes. All turning is done using green wet wood. Green wood is easy to work with little or no dust. I supply everything used during the day including lunch, tools and wood, safety visor, gloves & dust mask for sanding. We stop regularly for breaks.

On a one day bowl making course there is an introduction to the workshop, lathe, tools and how to work safely. How to stand correctly at the lathe while turning wood with minimum effort.

In the morning we will learn easy cutting techniques with a bowl gouge. How to work safely and develop tool control while making simple shapes, usually a wooden ball and spinning top. After lunch we will make a bowl around 30cm diameter from wet wood. The bowl will be sanded by students. All completed work can be taken home.”
