Ever fancy making jewelry with your turning skills? There’s a Hands On Workshop (HOW) for you! President Matt Overton showed a number of his turnings and described what you would learn in his HOW on Creating Small Jewelry. Here are a few of the necklaces he’s made.

Bruce Quigley is offering two classes- Let’s Add Character to Our Tuned Work and Segmented Tangential Turning. Here’s an example in which Bruce decorated a bowl with Jo Sonja iridescent paint. Bruce has also become a master of the tangentially segmented turning and is ready to show you this fun technique.

Pens are fun to make and they make great gifts too! Steve Hillerman is ready to show you how to make both acrylic and wood barreled pens. He’s also offering a class in making a Rock-A-Bye Box. There are plenty of fundamentals you’ll learn in this project.

Bob Crowe brought along several fine examples of work incorporating skills he’s learned from HOW, as well as some he’s developed on his own. He showed off a grinder from Matt’s class and a Bowl from a Board he learned from Phil Hauser. We all enjoyed the mini-HOW Bob put together on creating flutes on a bowl’s rim- way back in 2018!

Lise Kline brought in a couple of fantastic ornaments she made in a HOW. Like those finials? George Balock is teaching a Finials, Caps and Collars class.

Dan Zobel brought in his submission for the AAW’s POP exhibition, Nature/Nurture. He also brought the box he will be sending it in and an attempt that proved to be too big for the shows rule that it must fit in a 6 inch cube. Dan also brought a bowl with some copper leafing he’s been experimenting with.

Here’s Barb Serratore’s natural edge bowl. Made in a class at Dovetail Wood Arts, Barb recently inscribed it with a Maya Angelou quote: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Barb’s pyrography is fantastic!

David Giffen also brought in a natural edge bowl and hollow turning. A great form that makes you wonder “how did he do that?”
