FAQs
The minimum age for woodturning is typically around 12 years old, as long as the young enthusiast is supervised by an adult. It's a fantastic way to spark creativity and learn new skills! With proper guidance, safety measures, and a passion for crafting, youngsters can enjoy this rewarding craft while creating beautiful pieces. However, I do run special 'Kids and Carers 2 Hour Woodturning Taster Session in Berkshire' through the year where children aged 9+ can attend so please book one of these sessions if you're child is between 9 and 12 years old.
