Visiting professional and Turning magazine editor Mark Baker visited again to demonstrate techniques and pass on information regarding trends.

He demonstrated turning a Chilean Laurel dish, a Yew bowl, a point tool ribbed hollow form in cherry, a ribbed and lidded urn form in Ash, a vase form in scarce Masur Birch and more ... with tips on tool techniques and the use of scrapers.
