"Last year I have had a very good course at West-Dean My tutor was also Mark Hancock.
This year I did the course at Mark's woodturning place .
It was even a better choice! Together with my colleague Bouke we did a five days course. It was more than Excellent.
So we were not beginners, we have already experience.
Mark is so patient , knows very much he likes to experience.
What I learned from Mark was thinking out of the box: because I am a fine woodworker, teaching fine woodworking I am conservative in thinking.
Mark shows you ways of not turning just functional.
Think in objects!
So he is really an artist!
Therefore I sandblasted my
bowl, than burned it hot and brushed it: nice smooth good looking result.
Also he gave us good advice for buying Lathes for our school HMC Amsterdam Holland.
It is the MagmaBlack line!
Thank you Mark !!
