Discover woodturning and make your own candle holder

Get ready to turn your wood into a beautiful candle holder in this exciting two and a half hour woodturning workshop!

Led by Max, an expert in the art of woodturning, you'll learn how to use a woodturning lathe to transform raw wood into a stunning piece of functional art.

Max has two woodturning lathe models available, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. You'll start by selecting your wood from a variety of local options, all sourced from the beautiful Kempen region.

After you've turned your wood into shape, Max will guide you in oiling and drying your creation. While your work dries for 24 hours, you'll take your beautiful piece home in a plastic bag to protect it during the curing process.

Throughout the workshop, Max will provide water and tea to keep you refreshed and energised. You'll also learn about the importance of conservation and how to care for your new wooden creation.

Join us for a memorable experience that combines creativity and craftsmanship, and take home a beautiful piece of locally-sourced wood to treasure for years to come!

Meet Max, the artist whose passion for design and creativity has led him to create unique pieces of art that showcase the natural beauty of local wood species.

Max's workshops are a testament to his commitment to sustainability and ecology. Each piece he creates is made from trees in the province of Antwerp that were either blown down or removed for other reasons, giving them a second life.

Through his creations, Max offers a small oasis of tranquillity in our hectic society, inviting us to contemplate and enjoy the little things in life.

But that's not all. Max also offers workshops in wood turning, where you can create your very own vase, bowl, or candle holder. These workshops take place in an outdoor workspace, featuring two woodturning machines. And to keep you refreshed during the workshops, tea and water are readily available.

In the winter, the workshop can get chilly, but don't worry - Max has got you covered. He's installed a small fire pit to keep you warm and cosy while you work on your project.

Join Max and discover the beauty and creativity of woodworking.
