Pen Turning Workshops

Choose your materials, step up to the lathe, and create a custom pen of your own! With step-by-step instruction from Elizabeth, you’ll shape, sand, and finish a pen you can use every day or give as a meaningful handmade gift.

Sessions are limited to three participants at a time with multiple sessions available if needed, allowing plenty of individual guidance throughout the process. No prior woodturning experience is needed.

Request a workshop using the Workshop/Event Inquiry Form below and check back here as sessions become available.

Upcoming Events

Come see what’s new in person! Find Lathes & Lipgloss at upcoming craft fairs, markets, and community events to shop handcrafted pieces and, at select events, watch live pen turning.

Check back for event dates, locations, and details about where you can shop, catch a demonstration, or both.

Private Workshops & Event Inquiries

Looking for a creative outing with friends or an engaging demonstration for your next event? Private pen turning workshops accommodate up to three participants, and live turning demonstrations offer visitors a chance to see how a handmade pen takes shape.
