Jason Marlow Demonstration and Hands-On Workshops Island Woodturners Guild is pleased to announce the upcoming demonstration day, and two days of hands-on workshops, with well-known woodturning artist, Jason Marlow of Qualicum Beach BC. Jason has about 40 years of experience as a full-time professional woodturner, and is willing to share that experience to the benefit of our members. The demonstration day will be June 24/17, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at our usual meeting place, The Centre in Brentwood Bay, 1229 Clarke Road. Registration fee for attendees is $40 (members), $50 (non-members); all are welcome. Please arrive sufficiently early to pay fees before the 9:00 am start. The hands-on workshops will take place at Bryan Kemper’s workshop, 9323 Carnoustie Crescent, North Saanich, running from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday June 25/17, and Monday June 26/17. For those enrolling in a workshop (paid-up members only), the fee is $175 for the demonstration day and one workshop day combined, payable at the June 24/17 registration. Jason’s presentation will focus on design considerations, fundamental woodturning techniques, effective tool sharpening, tool handling and ergonomics, and surface decorative treatments. In the workshops, he likes to coach, mentor and encourage the participants, who many be at any level in the spectrum of experience and skill. The overall event will be of considerable benefit to both new and ‘seasoned’ Guild members. With this notice, workshop registration is open. Please email Phil Cottell at plcottell41@gmail.com promptly to register; first come, first served. A waiting list will be kept in case of over-subscription. Details about equipment or supplies needed for the workshops will be sent to registered participants. All participants agree to help with cleanup at the end of each day.

Once again, our Xmas social included the usual and much enjoyed punch supplied by Beryl and Graeme. Participation showing our favourite turnings displays and spouses arts and crafts creations was well represented. Note Emma’s tiny turning!
