Making Candlesticks – Seeing the Curves DVD

Making Candlesticks-Seeing the Curves picks up where I left off in my DVD Making Peppermills-Focus on Design. It delves deeper into form and speaks about the volume of curves and how to achieve them. The techniques necessary in how to turn better, more sensuous curves are covered in great detail. If you like to get right up close to the action, you’ll love this DVD. While it’s always entertaining to watch someone turn, it’s not always the best way to learn something new. I like “in-your-face” photography, and you’ll see plenty of it. (It just won’t be my face you’ll be seeing most of the time.) Instead, it will be close-ups on the developing form, the details of pulling out the curves, and the subtle cuts with several variations on the different types of cuts involved. Plus, I’ve illustrated key areas with graphics, illustrations and animations to drive these points home.

There are only two beads and some coves on this project, but the graceful lines and sensuous curves allow me to speak volumes about its simple beauty. And just like my Peppermill DVD, even if you never plan to turn a candlestick, what you will learn will help increase your knowledge of tool control so you can apply graceful contours to any project. You’ll understand the thought processes necessary to capture volume, which translates into adding a sense of “life” to your work. Apply these techniques, and all your turning will ultimately improve. You’ll Also learn the basics of the centuries old art of metal spinning. I’ll cover how to make your own tools, how to transform your wood lathe into a metal spinning lathe and then take you step by step through the metal spinning process. You’ll complete the hardware as shown on the cover of this DVD in your own shop with pewter discs that are available through Oster Pewter.
