Turn Timber into Treasures with woodworker Brendon Collins.

Learn the fundamentals of using an electric lathe as you choose your timber and shape it into two stunning creations: a rolling pin and a bowl. Guided by Brendon, you’ll master a variety of tools, including chisels, gouges, scrapers, and parting tools.

Walk away with your handcrafted pieces—and the skills to keep turning your creativity into reality.

Held at Ballarat’s Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
