Nov 21, 2024 – Monthly Meeting – Jeff Loucks – Simple Turnings with Embellishments

In our November meeting, Jeff Loucks will present simple turnings with embellishments.  Actually, many turnings are simple, they are a combination of coves and beads, with subtle distinctions or variations.  By placing a piece of wood on a lathe, you create new shadows and textures, in and of themselves.  When you add color and more texture without the aid of the lathe, another tactile dimension can be added.  Jeff will demonstrate a few cross grain turnings and one spindle example to exemplify what and how he created the art he will bring to the demonstration.

The meeting and demonstration will also be available via Zoom for members who are not attending in person.  Zoom will open at 6:30 pm for informal discussions, and the meeting will begin at 7:00. Zoom information will be emailed to current FLWT members a few days in advance of the meeting.

Folks attending at St Michael's Woodshop should plan to arrive no earlier than 6:30, to ensure that the student program has finished for the day. Participants enter through the main entrance to sign in with building security.
