Alan Stirt: Woodturner, Artist and Teacher
I started teaching woodturning in 1978 when Albert LeCoff invited
me to demonstrate at one of the turning conferences he and Palmer
Sharpless had organized at the George School in Bucks County Pennsylvania.
Since then, I have given woodturning demonstrations and hands-on
workshops all over the US as well as in Australia, Canada, England,
Ireland,New Zealand, and South Africa. I
have also taught hands-on classes at Anderson Ranch Arts Center,
Appalachian Center for Crafts, Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts,
Brookfield Craft Center, Marc Adams School of Woodworking, The School
for Furniture Craftsmanship and many other
places.
I give tutorials in my studio in Vermont which are tailored
to the individual. We'll work out the topics to be included based
on the needs and skill level of the student. The workshop will consist
of technique demonstrations, design discussions and hands-on
work as desired by the student.

I tailor my instruction to the needs and interests of each student.
