Glenn Lucas
Thin Walled Bowls
Glenn Lucas has an international reputation for his proficiency at the lathe and his ability to pass on to students, the skills and knowledge he has gained. He balances his production of classic bowls turned from native Irish wood (set up in 1995), with an extensive teaching programme run from his Co Carlow ‘Woodturning Study Centre’ (since 2005). In September 2020 he will move into a newly developed purpose-designed woodturning training centre. A frequent guest Demonstrator at overseas conferences, he also gives Turning Masterclasses at international arts and crafts schools, currently through Interactive Remote Demonstrations, remote tuition and virtual symposia.
The Thin Wall Bowl demo is an excellent project for intermediate to advance turners. This project is very helpful in refining delicate cuts, as there is no room for error. I will make a bowl with the Roman ogee design, which is enhanced by a thin wall thickness. Turned using standard tools – bowl gouges and scrapers.
