PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE & INFO HERE

Big Name Demo - Al Stirt coming toAl Stirt carved bowl CNEW on Sept. 4th- Al is a world renowned turner known for surface decorations on his turnings. See his website

His "bowl" compositions utilize the elements of pattern, line, weight, texture and form. Even in the most simple pieces he finds a harmony of grain and shape, seeking to balance his works between the dynamic and the serene. By playing with the tension created by combining the circle's perfection with the energy of pattern he tries to make pieces that have life. Patterns, whether created by grain structure or organic fluting & carving or repeated geometric shapes, develop harmony in each of his pieces. See flyer here  Admission $10 incl. refreshments. 6:30pm to 9:30pm
