Tuition Classes
Wood Turning – Tuition
and Courses
Beginners courses and Intermediate and beyond………
We live and
work in the Dordogne, South West France. Set midway between
Angoulême, capital of the Charente and Périgueux the capital
of the Dordogne, and, in our humble opinion, one of the most beautiful
parts of France.
The setting of my atelier “l’ame du bois” is spectacular with uninterrupted
panoramic views and an abundance of wild life. We are in the flight path of the
Grue(cranes) and, you can see these massive flocks of migrating birds in early
Spring going North to the Baltic and late autumn going South to Spain
for the Winter. We are also with buzzards, kites and other birds of prey. Red
squirrels, deer and sanglier (wild boar) occasionally make their presence known.
All courses are
informal, hands on, one-to-one and aimed at your particular interests for you,
the student. The pace of the course is to suit you, nobody else.
Testing
the water- Come and make a bowl
“Testing the water” is designed for those who want to satisfy their curiosity
and take their first step into wood turning with creating a bowl on the lathe to
take away at the end of the session. Just fun !
Beginners Course for face plate turning - at a pace to suit you
On this course
attention will be paid to correct tool for the job, tool sharpening, different
turning techniques , choosing woods, finishes etc after which you will go away
with a sound understanding of wood turning and you can expect to make items such as a bowl, platter or a hollow form or all if
time permits.
Intermediate
and Beyond
As with all other courses, this course is structured to individual needs and
aimed at those that have a sound understanding of basic practices and principles
but wish to aspire to projects that require a greater level of skill. Natural
edge bowls, green/wet turning, hollow forms, bowls, platters, natural
edge vases are some of the things that can be built into the course.
Specialist
- Large Diameter and wall sculptures
This course is for the experienced turner wanting to make a large turning and
most probably has not got the facilities in their own atelier.
All courses are
non-residential, but accommodation can be found near by, B&B, Chamber d’hote,
hotel or campsite. A detailed list can of accommodation can be emailed to you or
why not look at the
Holiday Section on this web site.
If you are interested in more information on
our courses or if you would like to discuss your requirements or a particular
turning interest we will see if we can customise a course to suit you please use

friends who own local bars. Here you are able to settle down at one of their
tables, wash down your Fish 'n' Chips with a refreshing glass/bottle of beer or
wine, or whatever else they have to offer. Alternatively you can have a chat
over the counter with us, whilst your food is cooked to order, and enjoy a glass
of wine or beer!

A new contact group has been
formed in the Haute Vienne town of St Yrieix La Perche -
Limousin
“Connect
for Friendship”
The group is the brain child
of Dutch couple Frans and Toke Verschuren, who, when thy moved to the town
nearly 18 months ago, struggled at first to find much of the information
they needed to establish them in their new life.
The aim is to set up an International English speaking group helping
newcomers and established people in the town of St Yrieix and its
surrounding villages.
Apart from the
British, it is hoped that local French and Dutch people will be joining too,
enabling everyone to benefit from an exchange of language and culture.
The general
monthly "meetings" will initially take the form of a casual drop in for
coffee and a chat and will be driven by "user demand".
From this a
range of activities will be developed to cater for the varying and
individual interests of the group.
Connect for Friendship
(Connectff) Association
Owing to its increasing popularity and ever
increasing attendance, the Connect for friendship association (Connectff)
has now affiliated with Familles Rurales within the local area and will
therefore now meet at a new venue.
The meetings will still be held on the first
Friday of each month starting at 10 am and continuing on until noon.
The new
venue is: - Famille Rurales, 60 Place de la Nation, St Yrieix La Perche.
This is the ground
floor area of the building where the French lessons are held with Mme.
Bernadette. The building is opposite the North end of the tree lined car
parking area at the Place de la Nation.
Parking will now be a lot easier and the new hall
should have much kinder acoustics which will promote even more discussion
between attendees.
Tea, Coffee and biscuits will still be available.
We hope that you can spare the time to come along
and visit us and enjoy meeting like minded people who have settled in the
area.
The key word
is "Friendship"
and everyone's welcome to pop in for a coffee and a chat.
The next meetings will be
NB ~ All these meetings
start at 10 am and finish at midday.
For further information call Frans (Dutch and English spoken)
05 55 75
48 76
or
get in touch by
E-mail connectff87@yahoo.com
A Book Club has
been
formed by Connect FF
If interested please contact
Pat Dixon 05 53 55 21 85
or
Vernon Goddard 05 55 09 94 90
The
Book Club will meet on the 3rd Friday of each
month at “Le Cheval Blanc”, St Yrieix, commencing
10.30am for coffee and hopefully, lively discussion on the book
of the month.
NEXT MEETINGS
The Book club will
meet at the usual venue at the hotel.
Under discussion for the next few months
will be:
September
Never Let Me go
Kazuo Ishiguro
October
Grasshopper
Barbara Vine
November
A Piano in the Pyrenees
Tony Hawkes
This will be followed by lunch for any one wishing to stay.
Please
let Pat Dixon know of your coffee/lunch requirements a few days before the
meeting.
All
welcome ~ but if you are a new member, please contact us to let us
know you’re joining.
