Our Open Studio Day was quite a success. It was well attended and each ITE'er put on a great demo for our guests. Here's Kim turning a bowl with Ambrosia Maple from the Fairmount Park wood dump.
She did a great job explaining the process to the onlookers and she drew quite a crowd!
Albert presiding with a smile, as usual!
Michael explained his steam bending process.
Beth, on the importance of good sharpening skills.
Noah with his beautiful 4x5 camera.
Carl with his Angel Wings in the foregound explained the finish on his sinks to visitors.
Dan discussed his use of shavings with his pelt in the foreground and his baroque wall hanging in the background.
My small beginnings as a wood turner. Several people have been supportive of my efforts, especially Beth, who has a great system for teaching, encouraging and a contagious positive excitement.
Noah's portraits so far.
Kim and Don Miller, furniture maker and UArts professor, chatting in the machine room.
View from the lathe I've been using. Not too shabby.
I couldn't resist including a picture with Harry. He loved to look at all the people and tools and hear all the sounds of the day.
