We’ve Started a New Business to Host Our Tuition and Woodturning360
Today (29th May 2024) is Martin’s tenth anniversary of picking up a gouge for the first time, and he’s pleased to announce the launch of a new business dedicated to providing woodturning tuition both in-person and online.
Last month, Maritn decided (in his chaotic wisdom!) that it would be best to slim the Hampshire Sheen site down and move the tuition and the Woodturning360 club across to a new business . . . and the Woodturning Online Ltd business was born!
For the last month, Martin has been working solidly on the new tuition booking site, The Woodturning School. It is launching it today to handle all new tuition bookings and give it a clear identity as offering woodturning tuition.
find us on social
Run by Martin and his wife Natalja, The Woodturning School will now provide all the tuition at the workshop and bookings will need to be placed on the brand-new website which available from today.
Here are some answers to some questions we expect, but if you have any others, please contact us, and we’ll happily help!
what about my existing booking?
If you have an existing tuition booking at Hampshire Sheen, there is no change for you—everything is fine: The Woodturning School is accepting new bookings only (unless you are one of the two students we are moving across for logistical reasons!). Your lesson will still happen here, your tutor is the same and you will still receive lesson communications from here.
How about my beginner’s Refresher videos?
If you have attended one of our Woodturning Experience Days, Two Day Beginners Courses or Martin’s Bowl Turning Experience Days, later today, you will receive an email detailing how to access the refresher videos on The Woodturning School site.
is anything happening to the finishing academy
The Finishing Academy is staying firmly in place here at Hampshire Sheen! It is a core part of the products we offer. If you are an Academy Member (thank you!), you do not need to worry about anything. Your videos are still here.
I’m a woodturning360 member. What’s happening?
Woodturning360 is moving back to its original website at www.woodturning360.com in the next few months. Please refer to club emails for more details.
what other changes are happening?
Besides Martin and Natalja’s new business, the tuition is virtually the same as it is currently. The Woodturning School has increased the number of courses available for students and is introducing more online learning opportunities, too. That said, Martin and Les have slightly redesigned the Woodturning Experience Day and Two-Day Beginners Course and introduced some fantastic new opportunities for intermediate and advanced turners.
The Woodturning School is also introducing more external tutors to the course roster, too. Check out the website and see. For example, we have Helen Bailey coming in January for two teaching days
what hasn’t changed
Other than the above, Hampshire Sheen is still doing what it does – manufacture and provide super finishing products to our wonderful woodturning customers here in the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada. But we are going to do it better!
By moving the tuition and our Woodturning360 club to the new business sites, this website will reduce in size and focus on serving our customers quickly and efficiently. It will take a couple more months to clear up, but we will get there, and you will benefit from the more focused site.
