 Special Workshops

  • Special workshops are occasionally conducted by professional woodturners. We have been fortunate with coordinating workshops in conjunction with all our visiting demonstrators. Additionally on occasion we have professional turners who are in our local area and will offer a one-day workshop. 
  • Workshops are conducted at the Bryant Learning Center, normal times are 08:30 – 3:30 lunch usually goes around 11:30. Fees charged for the workshops vary and will be announced with the workshop information. We conduct workshops on days the Bryant workshop is available. 
  • Workshop signups. Class size is usually based on the complexity of the workshop. The more complex topics have a lower number of workshop attendees. Workshops are filled on a first com, first served basis. I will place your name on the workshop list the day I receive payment. I will hold your payment until the day of the workshop. Once the workshop is filled a standby list is started. If you’re paying by check please make out one check per workshop, make checks payable to CAW.  If you cannot attend a workshop you have paid for, please send me notification so a standby can be selected and notified to fill your position.  Contact Mike Kinney at mkinney578@aol.com to sign up for workshops. 
  • Upcoming workshops. 
    • Fri. Aug. 13th - Keith Holt - "Making a Mask".  I don't know how he does it, but he creates masks of differing themes.
       
      Fri. Sept 10th - Mark Siffri - Workshop theme has not been determined yet.  Will have info soon and I will broadcast.
