April 2026 Regular Monthly Membership Meeting
Join us for our Regular Monthly Meeting at the ClearWater Arts Center and Studios, where members and guests gather to immerse themselves in the art of turning, share projects, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. John K. Jordan (not to be confused with the John K. Jordan that passed away in 2023) will provide the demonstration for this meeting. For those who attended the NC Symposium last year, you may remember John’s display in the pop-up gallery – a very large and diverse display of turned items. John is an excellent turner from the Knoxville, TN area and is especially skilled with the skew chisel. His demonstration will focus on skew skills, and we’ll see him turn some of his Harry Potter style wands and other thin-spindle items as well. John will also attend the afternoon turning session, so anyone wanting to learn skew skills should find this an excellent learning opportunity. The handouts he distributes to describe the details of his instructions are second to none. For those interested, we will order carry out lunches, or bring a lunch and spend the day.
Like our request for all gatherings, if you're feeling unwell or exhibiting any symptoms of illness, we kindly request that you stay home. Many of our members are part of high-risk groups, and safeguarding everyone's health remains a top priority.
