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.

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.
