Master wood artist Len Zeoli will open his workshop in Uniontown the week of November 13 to 19 to those with experience who wish to make turned gifts for Christmas. The shop will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day at a cost of $20 per day.

This is ideal for the many past students of Len’s where they may take the skills they have learned and put them to use making gifts for friends and loved ones. Those who studied with Len have first dibs on space, but anyone with some turning experience is welcome.
Len Zeoli has been working with wood since he first made his own toys as a child.

Wood has always been for him a readily available material that possesses lots of personality and possibility.

Len will be available for assistance for the entire week to help participants make this Christmas a special time when they can be proud of their accomplishments.

All tools are provided. Wood for most projects will be available at a nominal charge or participants may bring their own supplies.

His professional career in woodworking began in 1978 when he set up his first shop where he taught himself cabinet and furniture making.

Not satisfied with just buying lumber, Len immersed himself in the idea of wood as material, falling and milling trees that would one day find their way into his finished work.

This is nowhere more true than in his bowl turning, where he has focused on turning green wood. Many years of learning by doing have given him a sense of how to begin at the beginning and to persist through process to a finished piece.

Len has a special place in his life for those who want to learn how to work with wood, and is desirous of sharing his hard earned knowledge to help his students move in satisfying and productive directions.
