Classic City Woodturners

Woodturners, Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 7 2014 beginning at 6 PM at the Lyndon House Art Center, 293 Hoyt St, Athens. Our demonstrator for the month is Mark Sillay.  He is an accomplished woodturner from nearby Dekalb county who has demonstrated for us in the past.  His demo for the month will be offset turning with emphasis on tools, techniques and turning.  He plans on turning Christmas ornaments among other things. You can check out his work at his website www.marksillay.com.  You can meet him beginning at4:45 at the Melting Point for dinner and walk over to the Lyndon House following.  If you don’t meet Mark for dinner come on to the Lyndon House at 5:30 to help set up for his demonstration.

A few reminders are in order:

1. Election of 2015 club officers is coming.  We still need someone for president and vice president.
2. We need demonstrators for the North Georgia Folk Festival at Sandy Creek Park on October 11.
3. Continue to make Christmas ornaments for our club sale on October 25 at the Lickskillet Artist Market.  Proceeds go to The Food Bank of North East Georgia.  You can also sell your own turned items at this event as long as you agree to work at the club table.
4. We need help at the Lyndon House Harvest Festival on October 23 9:30 AM till 1 PM teaching youth about the crafts, tools and techniques of yesteryear.
5. The club Christmas party is set for Monday, December 15 at the same place as last year.  We had a great time, plenty of food, and free beer and wine.  Also, an ornament exchange was fun for some but not all.
