Glenn Lucas
Glenn has been on the Woodturningcruise three times already and we are happy to announce that he is back on board again! He is a great demonstrator and he knows how to teach you to turn. He is happy to share his woodturning knowledge and has plenty of useful tips.
On this cruise he will be one of the instructors in the classroom dedicated to instruct passengers in the skill of woodturning.
A production turner from Ireland, Glenn has been turning for thirty years. He has gained an international reputation for his unique approach to bowl production.
Highly efficient at the lathe he produces large quantities of bowls and platters each year for some selected stores and galleries but now mainly to sell from his website and studio.
Glenn is invited annually to teach and demonstrate at major events around the world such as Arrowmount college Tennessee, Utah symposium, AAW symposium and the AWGB seminar to name just a few.
He has produced a series of highly successful DVDs which many may know already. During the pandemic he was also very active giving lessons online. Now you can spend time next to him at the lathe, or get tuition one-to-one.
Glenn also teaches from his own well equipped study centre in south east Ireland.
