Professional Woodturner and Woodturning Instructor In Dorset
My name is Joe Creed-Kaile and I am a professional woodturner, a member of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain, and at 19 – I am the youngest in the association to achieve the tutorship recognition for woodturning through the AWGB.
I offer professional woodturning courses in Dorset at my workshop and gallery in Batcombe which is located near the Dorset / Somerset Border.
I was introduced to the art of woodturning at the young age of 14 by my grandfather. I have been incredibly lucky to turn my love for woodturning into more than just a hobby. Having trained through the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain (AWGB) youth training team, I gained certification to teach woodturning to others in 2017 – making me the youngest to do so in Great Britain. Through the youth training scheme funded by AWGB and The Worshipful Company of Turners, I met two fantastic people who helped no end to get me to where I am today. Mr. Stuart Mortimer and his amazing wife Mrs. Linda Mortimer who will be very familiar names to all in the woodturning circles throughout the world. Stuart guided me to a whole new level of wood artistry, and many of my pieces have been noted to possess that famous Mortimer influence.
I have been woodturning for over 4 years and, in this time, I have entered various competitions and held many public demonstrations. In 2016 I was lucky enough to be asked to demonstrate at The Wizardry in Wood exhibition held at Carpenters Hall in London, attended by the Lord Mayor of London, and I continue to demonstrate to this day.
I run woodturning courses in Dorset for woodturners at beginner level through to intermediate level at my workshop and gallery in Batcombe. My workshop is located near the Dorset / Somerset border.
I offer half days (morning or afternoon sessions) and full day tuition courses. This is always on a one to one basis– allowing for a more intimate approach to my teaching. This gives you a proper chance to try your hand at woodturning in a relaxed environment with the proper tools.
If you are interested in my woodturning courses on the Dorset / Somerset border and would like to book a full day or a half day, please get in touch.
