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. At a typical meeting, a guest woodturner provides a demonstration on some aspect of woodturning. Demonstrators may be from other regional clubs, national turning professionals, or experienced turners from our own club. Topics vary widely and might feature the proper use of a specific tool, making a specific turned item, equipment maintenance and use, and other similar areas of interest.

For this meeting, Darryl Jones, noted woodturner and demonstrator from Spartanburg SC, will demonstrate how to turn and carve a sphere.  Darryl is a woodworker, woodturner, content creator, instructor, and the founder of Dread Knot Woodshop.  A longtime woodworker, Darryl was introduced to woodturning a few years ago and has been exploring the craft ever since.  Some of his favorite turning projects include hollow forms, finials, and lidded boxes, but he is also willing to take a shot at new, challenging projects when given the opportunity.  Darryl has worked with several vendors in roles such as brand ambassador, instructor, demonstrator, and as a member of product development teams.  He has been brand ambassador for Robert Sorby for several years, traveling throughout the country and demonstrating their line of tools.  Darryl has provided demonstrations for the club previously, and his demos are always interesting and very informative.  Darryl always provides sufficient detail in his demonstrations to enable members to give it a try.

Just like all our 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.

Whether you're investigating the craft to see what it is about, a novice seeking to improve your turning skills or broaden your turning portfolio, or a seasoned veteran, our meetings provide a welcoming space for all.
