Calendar

We have been following the weather forecast for the past couple of days, and after taking the weather forecast under consideration, have decide there is no reason to cancel the monthly SPW meeting scheduled for this Saturday (January 24).  There is a consensus from the weather experts that precipitation will not begin until Saturday evening, 7-8 PM as it stands now.  Given this prediction, we are comfortable with going forward with the demonstration led by Jim Duxbury.  Jim is an awesome turner and presenter and is travelling a couple of hours to get here for the demo.  We are hopeful that we can give him a full audience to support his efforts.  It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a donut (both of which will be available at the studio) and learn how to turn a really interesting off-center ikebana flower bowl.  So set your alarms early and we’ll see you at 9:00 AM Saturday morning.  Doors open, with coffee ready, at 8:30.

We’ll make a final decision about theafternoon workshop after the morning meeting, but it looks like this event will go forward as well.  And, we will keep our eye on the weather during the workshop.  If it looks like it is starting to turn for the worse, we can discontinue and gather at a later date to finish the project – absolutely not a problem.  We have some beautiful wood blanks and spiky holders ready for all those who have signed up for this event.  It should be great fun, plus, you will take home an outstanding art form made from some great woods.  And, we still have a couple of turning slots available, so just go to the website and sign up.  It promises to be a great workshop.

See you Saturday,
