AWG Presidents Message – 8/18/10 Meeting

August Demonstration.

 This Wednesday, 8/18/10, Tania Radda from Arizona will present. I have attended a couple of her presentations in the past and they were very interesting. Traditionally, her demonstrations involve decoration and embellishment of her turnings and/or discussion of the creative process.  Below is a link to her website  definitely not a mainstream turner!   http://www.taniaradda.com/

 Presidents Challenge for August – Turn a Goblet.

 For our August meeting, the president’s challenge is to turn a Goblet (cup on a pedestal). It can be as large as you want, but I’ll give it minimum sizes of at least 5″ tall and the cup portion must be at least big enough in diameter to fit a golf ball (1.68″ diameter).

AWG Presidents Message – 7/19/10 Meeting

Demonstration.
This Wednesday, 7/21/10, our own Nick Cook will debut the Hollow Fast System. It is always fun to see a new hollowing system in action and I’m sure Nick will push it to it’s limits!  [Joe Gettys actually will sit in for Nick]  The owner of “Hollow Fast/Hold Fast/Sharp Fast/Stick Fast” will also be there to field any questions on the system.
