PERSONALIZED
APPROACH
Charles' woodturning lessons are personalized to meet the needs of each and every participant, from beginner/novice level to advanced students. He teaches one-on-one lessons, in small groups and has also taught larger groups such as the HDSB woodturning teachers on their Professional Development Day.
​
His bowls and works of art are often commissioned work, individualized by using a sentimental piece of wood from a family property, to specific colours or sizes to fit a particular room or art display.

Charles ensures that his pieces of work and his lessons meet the needs of the individual requests he receives.
