​I love woodturning and I love using colour and texture to add a new dimension to what I turn.
​
I hope you do too - or that you will after visiting my site.

​Maybe you'll book a course with me and come to love this exciting extension of our craft as much as I do.

Enjoy your visit - and if you want to keep up with what I'm doing, then consider signing up for my newsletter - it's free and subscribers get to attend free Zoom workshops with me throughout the year.

If you are thinking of starting woodturning or want to learn how to use colour and texture as decorative techniques, book me for one-to-one tuition or one of my small group workshops.

Does your woodturning club need a demonstrator? I can travel all over the UK and abroad.  I have demonstrated in many clubs and woodturning events in England, as well as demonstrating at trade events in Sweden, and  Austria, and national seminars in Ireland, Spain and Greece. 
​
Need a remote demonstration for your club or event? I've got a full studio set-up and can provide online demonstrations. Recent remote demos have been for the AAW and clubs in the USA. Australia is next!

Alongside teaching and demonstrating, I make regular videos about turning and decorative techniques which you can find on my YouTube channel. I also wrote a year long series of articles in Woodturning magazine on how to use colour and texture in turning.
​
Check out my Galleries for examples of some of my work and some of my YouTube Videos. I hope you find something that inspires you.​​

These courses are held at Hope Woodturning in Essex. Check the site for dates and details.

Hope Woodturning

This course will cover colouring and texturing ideas. There will be minimal turning involved. You're welcome to bring your own turning tools but tools are provided as well as all colouring supplies, wood and equipment.


This course is not suitable for complete beginners but for those who wish to go that step further and explore the artistic side of woodturning with a fully packed 2-day course covering airbrushing, other coloring techniques, and texturing.


Course Fee -£250 per person for the 2-day course. Includes all equipment and timber.

​​Stewart is a great tutor and you leave at the end of two days with a whole new outlook on what you can achieve on plain timber.

John Galloway

It was a brilliant 2 days of learning how to texture and colour. I can honestly recommend these courses - far better than just watching a YouTube channel as you have Stewart on hand to show you on a one to one basis.
