The AAW wishes to express its deep appreciation for the support shown by those who gave to the AAW during its 2015 fundraising campaign. Your donations help fund operations, youth education, Women in Turning, Educational Opportunity Grants, and other programs. We also thank the members who contributed artwork to the live auction at the Pittsburgh International Symposium, benefitting the AAW Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG) program. As you may know, AAW membership dues cover only a portion of the expenses for member programs and services. Your contributions matter immensely, and we thank you for your personal expressions of support for the AAW and its nonprofit mission.

32016 Symposium - Atlanta GA Check the Symposium app (pg 5) or Registration area for any changes.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), I welcome you to our 30th Annual International Symposium. While you’re here, you’ll enjoy some of the finest presenters from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, U.K., France, and Australia. You’ll be able to enhance your skills and stretch your horizons. You also will have the opportunity to make new friends and visit with old ones, explore new ideas, discover the latest products and services available, be inspired by wood art from around the world, and enjoy Atlanta’s many attractions. Supporters, Volunteers, Staff – Throughout the venue, you’ll see signage recognizing the businesses, donors, and sponsors who have helped make our symposium possible. Their generosity is critical to this event. Please be sure to thank them, now and in the future. Our volunteers are another key element to the symposium’s success. Local liaisons Steve Pritchard and Linda Britt, and their local recruits, have turned this venue into a woodturning knowledge center. It takes hundreds of local and national volunteers who spend thousands of hours to make this event possible. And our AAW staff, who goes above and beyond throughout the year, really shine during this event. On behalf of the entire AAW organization, I thank all of our supporters, donors, volunteers, and staff for their contributions to make this event a success. Social Media – Many of you will share symposium moments via social media. We encourage you to post your experiences online with your friends, but remember that many of our demonstrators earn their livings from their demonstrations and video products. Kindly respect copyrights and demonstrators’ livelihoods. Please do not share or upload any instructional materials or videos without explicit permission.Highlights – In addition to the outstanding educational rotations, here are a few of the extraordinary events you won’t want to miss: Highlights – Here are just a few …• Multiple exhibits showcasing some of the finest wood art in

the world.• Three benefit auctions that provide invaluable funding for

woodturning education (your bid number is printed on the back of your badge).

• Instant Gallery, the largest display of woodturned art in the world.

• Instant Gallery Critique and Intimate Critique, for obtaining invaluable feedback.

• Members and Chapter Meetings, for dialogue with your AAW leadership.

• Tradeshow, our largest ever, with the newest woodturning equipment, products, and supplies, with extended hours.

Feedback – Please take a few minutes to share your feedback & suggestions, and help us by evaluating the symposium demonstrators and programs. It’s easy. All registrants have been provided an email link to evaluation forms (you may also provide feedback on the symposium app). Thank you! Sharing, the Woodturners’ Way – Thirty years ago, a group of professional turners chose to share their knowledge by forming the AAW. Their volunteer efforts have continued through the years and have made AAW and its local chapters the success they are today. I encourage you to share your knowledge and experiences with other turners. Better yet, volunteer with the AAW or your local chapter, mentor a woodturner, or get a friend interested in turning. It’s the best gift you can give.

Beads of Courage - The AAW partnered with Beads of Courage to challenge lampwork bead artists to make and contribute enough beads to fill a handcrafted truck made by the AAW’s Minnesota Association of Woodturners chapter. See the results of that challenge in the Instant Gallery area … view the truck filled with beads and the number of turned boxes. Through Beads of Courage, children receive a unique bead to represent each procedure or treatment ... a red bead for each blood transfusion, a yellow bead for each night in the hospital, a star bead for surgery, a white bead for chemotherapy. Their collection of beads becomes a tangible record of their journey. Each woodturned box is used to hold a sick child’s precious beads.

Be sure to visit the human-powered lathe exhibit near the Registration area. This lathe was built by AAW member Benjamin “B.J.” Hatcher with local chapter support following a design created by AAW member Scotty Lewis. In 2014, the AAW Turners Without Borders Committee sponsored a project in the Dominican Republic where Lewis traveled with the original lathe to conduct a demonstration project with local craftspeople. The goal of the project was to provide assistance developing the skills to help individuals become self-sufficient by selling the pieces they turn. Learn more on pg 36.

Turning 30In celebration of the AAW’s 30th anniversary, the 2016 exhibition theme is “Turning 30.” For three decades, the AAW annual member shows have encouraged turners to present their finest work, from innovative ideas and techniques to timeless forms and classic skills. The artists interpreted the theme in many ways – turning 30 as a milestone in our culture, through 30 turned objects, and by creating work reflecting the AAW’s proud tradition of sharing and learning. Jurors were Collectors of Wood Art President Judith Chernoff MD, Executive Director of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts Bill May, and sculptor Jerry Bennett. There are two awards presented as part of this exhibition – the Masters’ Choice and the People’s Choice. Visit the exhibition to pick up and cast your People’s Choice ballot before Saturday at 2:00p.

In the Beginning“In the Beginning” celebrates the founding of the AAW at the Visions & Concept woodturning conference held at Arrowmont in 1986. The show features archival images from the beginning days of the AAW, select pieces by founding members, a facsimile of the original handwritten membership registration ledger, and interviews with members who joined in 1986. Co-sponsored by Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.

Full-color catalogs are available.

PatternsEach year, an international group of woodturning artists is invited to create small-scale work around a central topic.

EOG Live Auction FridayAuction at 7:30p - Bldg 3 Atrium The EOG (Educational Opportunity Grant) Live Auction fundraiser is one of the biggest highlights of the symposium, and during the past 29 years it has generated many thousands of dollars to benefit the AAW’s educational program. Proceeds from the sale of pieces donated by our members go directly to fund educational grant projects submitted by individual woodturners, AAW chapters, schools, and other organizations.

Items for the EOG Live Auction will be on display in the Instant Gallery. The auction will take place following Friday night’s social hour, cash buffet ($14.99), and cash bar, to bidders in the room and on the Internet. View the online catalog at auction2016.woodturner.org.

YOUR BID NUMBER — Your bid number is printed on the back of your badge. Did you bring a guest to the auction? Have them register with the staff at the check-out tables in the hall ... so no one has an excuse not to bid high and bid often.

Inspired by history, mathematics, nature, and love, the array of forms and patterns they created is varied and beautiful, with artists riffing off the grain of the wood and creating an arresting range of patterns through incising, charring, carving, sandblasting, rose engine work, and paint.

Works will be auctioned at 3:30p on Saturday in a simultaneous live and online auction, auction2016.woodturner.org. Proceeds support POP initiatives, including panel discussions, awards, and fellowships.

Ornamental Turners International is a chapter of the AAW devoted to ornamental turning on both the ornamental turning lathe and the rose engine. This year’s program attempts to demonstrate many of the different facets of ornamental turning with the various tools from different perspectives. While each demonstration is capable of standing alone, they are ordered in such a way as to build on each other. It is an attempt to give the novice a sure foundation while adding to the skills of the more experienced. While the focus is on ornamental turning, some demos, especially the ones about threading and stabilization, will have applications for any interested turner.

This year’s ornamental turning demonstrator is:• Jon Magill

A specialty aspect of turning that focuses on cutting and gluing various species of wood together to take advantage of their natural colors, resulting in intricate patterns and geometric shapes. There are several approaches to segmenting – closed rings, staves, and open segmenting where gaps exist between the segments. Each approach creates a unique aesthetic style.

Learn more on pg 35 and segmentedwoodturners.org

Segmented Woodturners is an online virtual chapter of the AAW. As the largest chapter, its 550+ members worldwide have become the driving force in segmented woodturning. If you can imagine it, it’s possible that segmenting can achieve it – from curves, to geometrics, to art vs. utilitarian pieces. Segmented turning offers a wide variety of design opportunities.

This year’s segmented turning demonstrators are:• Robin Costelle• Curt Theobald

Rm 203B

Wouldn’t it be great if woodturning presenters could do their demonstrations from their own shops with their own tools, and have a live interactive audience participation in a far-away chapter location? No travel time and costs, no equipment packing, and availability of presenters from all over the world. Chapters could afford more and varied presentations for their members. Presenters (both experienced and new) could reach a wider audience. This session will cover ...

• How presenters can use the Internet, low-cost computers, webcams, audio, software, and free video feeds to present multi-camera demonstrations.

• Typical chapter set-ups to make online demonstrations interactive, seeing and taking questions from the audience.

• Related topics, including rights to record and sending samples to the audience in advance, to pass around.

• Using the same equipment to record videos that show your work and educate fellow turners.Alan Zenreich

For several years, the segmented woodturners only gathered at the Special Interest Nights during the AAW international symposiums. Then it was conceived to formalize as a virtual chapter and conduct its own segmenting-only symposiums biannually. The landmark 1st Segmenting Symposium in November 2008 was a resounding success. From that humble beginning of approximately 100 attendees, segmentedwoodturners.org today boasts 550+ members worldwide and has become the driving force in segmented woodturning.

T u r n e r s W i t h o u t B o r d e r sAAW Program

woodturner.org/?page=TWB

The AAW Turners Without Borders (TWB) Committee was created in 2011 to broaden our links with the wider woodturning community. Because of the AAW’s unwavering approach of sharing woodturning knowledge, international members in more than 35 countries account for approximately 10% of AAW’s membership. Since its inception, TWB has accomplished many fascinating initiatives and continues to explore possibilities for TWB with groups of woodturners outside the United States. TWB is now in the final stages of planning and organizing two international initiatives for 2016 – a teaching partnership project with GreenWood in Honduras organized by TWB Committee member David Heim, and a woodturning demonstration and symposium in South Africa led by TWB Committee member Carmen De La Paz. The South African projects will include teaching in Karatarra, a small village where TWB will work closely with village officials to help jump start a path to a micro-economy for women and young people via the woodturning lathe. The annual face-to-face TWB Committee meeting will be held on Saturday, Rm 204H, from noon-1:00p. The Committee encourages anyone with an interest in learning about AAW’s international planning efforts to attend and observe. Come and learn about possible future volunteer opportunities for those willing to pay travel expenses, with AAW TWB contributing to local costs.

TWB Programs (demonstrations and workshops conducted by TWB instructors) in Puerto Rico have

put more than 220 people behind a lathe for the first time. The lathes donated by TWB to artisan centers

in Puerto Rico have generated more than 1,500 hours of instruction in 6 centers all over the island. The first

AAW Puerto Rico Chapter, Torneros de Madera de Puerto Rico, was established in 2015.

2016 TWB participated with the International Wood Cultural Society in World Wood Day 2016 in Kathmandu,

Nepal. The event drew approximately 400 participants from 100 countries.


W o m e n i n T u r n i n gAAW Committee

Women in Turning (WIT) began with a casual meeting of women turners at the Phoenix symposium in 2014. Acting on a shared belief that more women would become involved in woodturning if there were a concerted effort of recruitment and support, they formed a group, decided on a name, and began planning. WIT’s first project was “Egg Crate,” a collection of eggs turned by women throughout the turning community. This collaboration sold at the Pittsburgh symposium’s EOG auction for $9,000. WIT’s collaborative project for the EOG auction at the Atlanta symposium is “Fruits of Our Labor.” WIT became a AAW committee in September 2015, with AAW Board member Kathleen Duncan as its chair. Committee members are Suzanne Bonsall Kahn, Betty J. Scarpino, Jean LeGwin, Dixie Biggs, Linda Ferber, and Andi Wolfe. As a committee, WIT is now an integral part of AAW’s programs and fundraising activities. A Regional Ambassador Program (RAP), sponsored by WIT, is well underway. At local symposiums, women turners meet to find support and establish connections. Regional ambassadors will coordinate activities within their respective areas. AAW’s Program

Woodturn ing Beyond Bar r ie rsAAW Program

Woodturning is enjoyed by people worldwide as a method for creating art and functional objects. For the most part, woodturning is enjoyed by people who can hold their tools with two hands, stand, see, and hear during the turning process. Most of the instructions found in books, on the web, and in videos assume the student has all of these capabilities. What happens when one or more of these capabilities do not exist? People with all types of disabilities have safely enjoyed woodturning. The key is to identify alternative approaches or adaptations and enable instructors to adequately describe and demonstrate the techniques. The Woodturning Beyond Barriers program describes the process of woodturning for a person with challenges. The instructions provide alternative approaches to some of the techniques that traditionally have been described only in terms for those without disabilities. There is more than one way to do many things in turning, whether the turner is sighted or otherwise challenged. It is hoped that a larger discussion would find various methods and effective techniques for someone with disabilities.

Accessible Lathe Manual The AAW identified a barrier for turners with sight disabilities – lack of instructor confidence. This led to the development of the Accessible Lathe Manual, available for download at woodturner.org/?page=WBBresources. The contents include:• Safety• Tools and Materials• Sharpening• Workstation• Centering• Measuring• Skill-building and Projects• Tools and Equipment List• Wood Requirements and Tactile

Learn to sharpen your tools. Not only do they need to be sharp, but their shape is equally important. Do not soldier on with inferior tools. It is false economy.

My late friend Charles Alvis would say, “Take time to smell the roses.” I say, “Don’t shy away from repetitive or production turning. It will improve your skills immensely.”

Wally Dickerman (1921-2016)#164

If I could give some advice to my 30-years-younger self, it would be to find a teacher or mentor whose work I admire and get some lessons. I’m completely self-taught and sadly have never had a lesson. Having taught woodturning for many years, I know the value of hands-on learning.

Julie Ditmer#281

Having recently endured two hand surgeries, I’d tell myself to see a specialist immediately upon the first signs of joint pain in the hand!

David Ellsworth#1

We learned from the potters back in the early 1970s that, if you didn’t have a well-designed and functional production item people could use and afford, you weren’t going to make it. Mine was my salt, pepper, and sugar shaker sets that sold for $18 retail in the mid-1970s [$82 in 2016 dollars]. Having a broad range of items increases one’s chances for success, while simultaneously developing a strong work ethic and the discipline needed to survive.

Classic Ellsworth, 1990

Michael Hosaluk#487

Never stop learning. Try everything that comes to mind and have fun.


woodturner.org/?page=30YearProfiles

Betty J. Scarpino#1001

Using the lathe as a basis for creating sculpture is a limitation. It was from Steve Loar that I learned formal design and the essential concept of limitations for creativity. During the 1990s, I began exploring the combination of woodturning and carving, still my passion today.

Ron Kent#17

Spend less time (and money) on fancy tools and new gadgets and more time standing in front of your lathe.

Robert Molloy#436

I would recommend that a novice woodturner visit a local AAW-affiliated chapter. Talk to multiple members with different interests and skills - bowl, pen, ornament, finial, and spindle turners. Visit their workshops. Consider becoming an AAW chapter member. Search the Internet to become familiar with the many excellent craft schools and see what courses they offer. Watch some of the many available woodturning videos both on YouTube and on various woodturning product suppliers’ web sites.

Liam O’Neill#481

Try to keep the ego under control. Let the quality of the work and the skill of your teaching do the talking.

S. Gary Roberts#16

As to advice for 30 years ago, I would say that, the more you turn, the better you will get. So practice - a lot!

Jon Sauer#351

Enjoy woodturning. Let your body of work continue to evolve, stay with it, keep in touch, learn, and keep your tools sharp.


S a f e t ySafety Tips for Turning

AAW Resources

Safe, effective use of a wood lathe requires study and knowledge of procedures for using this tool. Read, thoroughly understand, and follow the label warnings on the lathe and in the owner-operator’s manual. Safety guidelines from an experienced instructor, video, or book are good sources of important safety procedures. Please work safely.

ENVIRONMENT• Don’t use a lathe in damp or

wet locations or in the presence of inflammable liquids, vapors, or gases. Always keep a fully-charged fire extinguisher close at hand.

• Guard against electric shock. Inspect electric cords for damage. Avoid using extension cords.

• Frequently remove shavings from the floor while turning. Eliminate all slipping or tripping hazards from the floor around the lathe and work area.

• Keep your work area well lit and well-ventilated. Use anti-fatigue floor matting at the lathe workstation.

• Use a powered dust extraction system to remove wood dust and other air-suspended particles while sanding or generating any form of dust.

• Do not be distracted. Keep pets out of the shop. When the lathe is running, ask family members to enter the shop carefully so you aren’t startled and wait until you turn off the lathe before trying to get your attention.

EQUIPMENT• Keep lathe in good repair. Check

for damaged parts, misalignment, binding of moving parts, and other conditions that may negatively affect its operation.

• Ensure that all guards, belt covers, and other safety features are in place.

• Keep the lathe bed, toolrest holder (banjo), and tailstock mating surfaces clean and operating smoothly. Remove rust or debris that would cause binding.

• Keep turning tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Inspect frequently for cracks or defects. Don’t force a dull tool. Never use a tool for a purpose that it was not designed for or intended for.

PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT• Using a full face shield is

recommended for all woodturning operations, but especially for bowl, vessel, or any medium to large turned pieces involving chucks and faceplates. At a minimum, use safety goggles or safety glasses that have side protectors for turning small items.

• Fine particles from a grinder and wood dust are harmful to your respiratory system. Use a dust mask, filtering respirator, or a powered air filtration respirator (PAPR), in conjunction with a dust collection system and proper ventilation. Be especially mindful of dust from many exotic woods, spalted woods, or any wood that give you a skin or respiratory reaction.

• Wear hearing protection during extended periods of turning, grinding, or power carving.

BLANKS AND TURNING MATERIALS• Turning stock should be physically

sound and carefully inspected for cracks, splits, checking, ring shake, and other defects that compromise the integrity of the wood. Always be aware that defects may be present but undetectable through visual inspection.

• Exercise extra caution when using stock with any known defects, bark inclusions, knots, irregular shapes, or protuberances. Beginners should avoid these types of stock until they have greater knowledge of working such wood.

• Frequently stop the lathe and inspect the blank to determine if defects are being developed or exposed as material is removed. Discard blanks that have significant defects. Adding adhesives to attempt to “fix” defects in the blank is not advised. Do not rely on glue to keep a defective blank together.

woodturner.org/page/safetyguidebook


TECHNIQUE• Tie back long hair, bangs, and

beards. Do not wear gloves. Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or any dangling objects that may catch on rotating parts or accessories.

• When using a faceplate, be certain the workpiece is solidly mounted with stout screws (#10 or #12 sheet metal screws as a minimum). Do not use dry wall or deck screws. When turning between centers, be certain the workpiece is mounted firmly between the headstock drive center and tailstock center.

• Before starting the lathe, rotate your workpiece completely by hand to make sure it clears the toolrest, banjo, and lathe bed. Be certain that the workpiece turns freely. Ensure the blank is held securely by the drive center, faceplate, or chuck.

• Always check the speed of the lathe before turning it on. Use slower speeds for larger diameters or rough pieces and higher speeds for smaller diameters and pieces that are balanced. Always start a piece at a slower speed until the workpiece is balanced. If the lathe is shaking or vibrating, lower the

speed. If the workpiece vibrates, always stop the machine to verify why. Ensure the lathe speed is compatible with the size of the blank.

• Be aware of what turners call the “red zone” or “firing zone.” This is the area directly behind and in front of the workpiece, the areas most likely for a piece to travel as it comes off the lathe. A good safety habit is to step out of this zone when turning on the lathe, keeping your hand on the switch in case you need to turn the machine off. When observing someone else turn, stay out of this zone.

• Hold turning tools securely on the toolrest, holding the tool in a controlled but comfortable manner. Always contact the toolrest with the tool first before contacting the wood.

• Turn the lathe off before adjusting the toolrest or repositioning the banjo. Following these adjustments, again rotate the piece by hand to confirm that all parts of the piece will not encounter an obstruction.

• Always remove the toolrest before sanding, finishing, or polishing operations.

• Do not use cloth to apply finishing or polishing materials if it is intended to contact a rotating object on the lathe. Never wrap polishing materials around fingers or hands.

• When running a lathe in reverse, it is possible for a chuck or faceplate to unscrew unless it is securely tightened or locked on the lathe spindle. Use spindle locking screws in the faceplate or chuck if turning in reverse.

ROUTINE• Check that all locking devices on

the tailstock and toolrest assembly (rest and base) are tight before operating the lathe. Frequently check the tightness of chuck jaws throughout the woodturning session.

• Remove chuck keys, adjusting wrenches, and knockout bars. Form a habit of checking for these before turning on the lathe.

• Know your capabilities and limitations. An experienced woodturner is capable of lathe speeds, techniques, and procedures not recommended for beginning turners.

• Don’t overreach, keep proper footing, and keep your balance at all times.

• Never leave the lathe running unattended. Don’t leave lathe until it comes to a complete stop.

• Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Pay close attention to unusual sounds or vibrations. Stop the lathe to investigate the cause. Don’t operate machines when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Sunday So You Want to be a DemonstratorSunday, 8:00a, Rm 203E

A wood lathe is a powerful and dramatic shaping tool, making it perfect for exciting demonstrations. The key is pairing this machine with the right amount of information, entertainment, and inspiration to engage an audience as they watch, and then leave them with something they can take home to think about and hopefully try. Demonstrating is fundamental to the woodturning field and is how we share what we do and teach each other collectively how to grow. There is value in being able to combine turning skills with a bit of public speaking, whether at your local chapter, all the way up to a national symposium. As woodturners, almost all of us have

benefited from other makers showing us how they create, and this panel will help give some pointers and thoughtful discussion on how to give back and join the fellowship of demonstrators.

Andy Cole, Beth Ireland, Derek Weidman

Identity and Personal ExpressionSunday, 8:00a, Rm 203C

As we begin to mature as artists, we yearn to “find our own voice,” but what does “voice” mean? Where can it be “found”? Does personal identity change over time, or do we confidently learn to express what has been there all along? Panelists will explore and discuss the concepts of identity and personal story in their own artwork.

Cultural Appropriation or MisappropriationSunday, 2:00p, Rm 203E

Appropriated symbols from other cultures have been used as a popular motif in woodturning for a long time. Users of these symbols may not be aware that the icons they choose may have deep traditional, religious, or spiritual meaning within the originating culture. When is it OK to use icons, symbols, and aesthetics from cultures (including our own), and when is it not? Cultural appropriation and misappropriation are very different from one another, but the line between them is often blurred. Borrowing, sharing, and being inspired by other cultures is a common everyday experience. Sometimes we hardly recognize it happening, such as when cultures bump up against one another, and symbols and designs are transferred with little thought to their original meaning. This occurs very frequently, especially in the world of artists and fashion designers. How do we assess appropriateness? This subject is huge, and we can only touch upon its implications. The three panelists will give their views about the subject and how they are influenced by other cultures in their work. Additionally, Clay Foster’s famous remarks on the subject will be read by J. Paul Fennell.

Yann Marot Roped BowlTo create a nice roped bowl, we first need a nice shape and a thin wall. Then we can dress it with a delicate rope texture using simple tools, sand a little to highlight the texture, and use a jam chuck to complete the curve through the base. A few tricks about finishing, and that’s all there is to it.

Raindrop BoxYann will explain a few tricks about box making, design, and proportion. He uses only simple methods and common tools to create the scratch texture and the ring inlay. The most difficult is the shape, a simple raindrop with a black ring to create a contrast. The skew chisel is very useful for that.

Slicing AngleRope the bevel – that’s good. Slicing on wood – it’s better! With the skew, spindle gouge, scraper, or bedan, let’s try the slicing angle for a good surface without sanding and nice shavings. It also allows us to turn thinner by reducing the pressure on the wood.

Frank will demonstrate how to design laminated blanks for handles, small boxes, bowls, plates, and platters and then show how he turns multi-axis laminated pieces.

Toni Ransfield Polymer Clay in the Pen WorldDeveloped in 1939, polymer clay (PC) certainly isn’t a new material in the art world. It has several applications and, when used in the proper way, lends itself to unique and beautiful designs, perfect for use in pen turning. Toni will discuss the different brands and which one is right for you. Learn how to use PC, cure the tubes, bake them, and finish them. And they make fantastic pens!

Jim Rodgers Classic VaseYouth class, pg 31 - Jim will emphasize safety using the spindle roughing gouge and shallow fluted gouge to create a vase shape from a square piece of stock. The project will be turned between centers, transferred to a four-jaw chuck for completion, and drilled with a hole to hold the flower. The project will be completed with a hand-applied finish.

Onion-shaped VaseYouth class, pg 31 - The onion-shaped vase will be turned from square stock, rounded in a four-jaw chuck, and completed by making a fair sinuous curve before drilling with a special drill bit to accept the plastic tube for the flower. A bees wax finish will be applied at the projection completion.

Peggy Schmid Egg Ornaments with FinialsPeggy will take you from egg to ornament, exploring the best types of eggs to use, methods for removing the contents of the shell, cleaning it, and then applying a painted scene. A hardwood dowel will be used to create a finial attached through the center of the egg. A captive ring will be a part of the design. Once the egg is attached, it is sprayed with a clear coating to protect the surface and harden the egg. The finial design can be adapted to a variety of other center objects in ornaments, including hollow globes.

Jason Schneider Corrugated Cardboard BowlsJason will demonstrate how to turn a corrugated cardboard bowl. He will first discuss the laminating process and how to prepare the blank to create desired patterns with the corrugations. He then goes into the tools and techniques of turning a finished cardboard bowl.

Functional Cardboard FurnitureLarge blanks of corrugated cardboard are necessary for making cardboard furniture. Jason will reveal the best way to laminate the cardboard to maximize its structural integrity and will review grain direction and efficient ways to support the work while turning. He will share creative ways of gluing and clamping your turned forms together.

Mark Sfirri Spindle-turning BasicsBest known for his multi-axis work, Mark recognizes that the root of all of his designs begins with basic turning techniques. Learn which appropriate tools to use, how to keep them sharpened, speed, cutting techniques, and finishing the ends of a turned piece to make it as seamless as possible. Practice these skills at home to improve your work.

Multi-axis Abstract FigureWhat began as a mistake nearly 20 years ago has become one of Mark’s signature designs, multi-axis turning. Mark will reveal the mystery of how it’s accomplished and will share his key tools and technique. He’ll share the theory and cause & effect of using different axes to produce unusual pieces.

Baseball Bat, Sfirri StyleMark will discuss the theory of and execute a multi-axis lathe-turned bat from his “Rejects from the Bat Factory” series, begun in 1993. Since then, he has explored several design variations using a traditional baseball bat as his blank canvas. He will share the secrets of his design approach, which tools work best, and how the common interrupted cut in multi-axis work is achieved.



Jennifer Shirley Turned Mirrors, Big and SmallEver needed a gift for someone on short notice or just wanted a fun project to practice embellishing? Jennifer will show you how to make a really easy decorative mirror, large enough to hang on the wall or small enough to fit in a purse. It’s a great project for a gift or for a quick sale at a craft fair. She’ll share the process to turn them with a recess to hold the mirror, how she creates a nice framework for the mirror with copper and turned bead, making a boundary for embellishing, and reversing the piece with a simple, low-cost method found at the big box store for under $1. These easy-to-make mirrors are fun to decorate and are sure to reflect a smile.

Endgrain CuttingAdult class, pg 30 - Learn about scrapers, spindle gouges, drill bits, and hollowers to understand why the direction of cut and tool selection influence success and lead to a smooth surface. Students will perform the skill-building exercises necessary for box making, goblets, and hollow forms.




Brian Simmons 2 Bowls 2 WaysTurning a bowl begins with choosing the grain direction. Grain effects the finished look of the bowl and influences which tools you should use and how you will apply each tool to the wood. In this demonstration, Brian will turn both an end-grain bowl and a face-grain bowl and discuss the techniques for each. He will demonstrate the effect of various bevel angles on both approach and finish.

Inside Peek at Hollow TurningHollow turning can be as mysterious as it is intriguing. The process of hollowing may seem simple enough on paper, but, in practice, working blindly is more difficult than it looks. In this demonstration, Brian literally will cut away some of the mystery around hollowing. You’ll be able to see the basic steps in hollowing through a narrow opening using some basic tools that you can easily fabricate or purchase.

Curt Theobald Segmented Bowl ConstructionDon’t let the apparent complexity of a segmented pattern intimidate you. Learn how to accurately plan your own projects and begin to foresee any potential problems before any wood is cut. Curt will show how to create patterns that can be used to enhance segmented woodturnings. Many methods will be shared to help you more easily and accurately perform segmented pattern glue-ups in your own workshop, in addition to learning multiple timesaving techniques.

Thinking Outside the BoxSometimes it can be difficult to make segmented turnings that stand out from other segmented works. This session, beneficial to both segmented and non-segmented turners, will challenge you to think differently about the creation of your work. Curt will take a step-by-step look at a sculptural piece he created and discuss the steps to make his vision a reality. Some of the topics presented will be inspiration, evolution of design, problem solving, prototyping, and creation of the piece.

Open Segmented TurningOpen segmented turning is gluing multiple pieces of wood together, leaving gaps between each segment to create interesting effects, designs, and illusions that highlight qualities of a variety of woods. Learn technique and theory, explore design concepts, and have a have a better understanding of the adventure known as open segmented turning.

Kimberly Winkle EmbellishingAdult class, pg 30 - Tools and techniques that transform simple forms tell a story and fool the eye. Pyrography (burning), texturing, and coloring are demonstrated by some of the best in the field. Learn about planning and layout, properties and uses for decorative media, design

opportunities and limitations using engravers, rotary bits, and carving.



Helga Winter Encaustic Surface Embellishment 1This PowerPoint presentation is an introduction to the multitude of possibilities that can be achieved with encaustic medium and paint, including the history of encaustic, safety issues, and contemporary encaustic art on 3-dimensional objects.

Encaustic Surface Embellishment 2Helga will demonstrate the use of encaustic hot tools with encaustic paints on 3D surfaces, fleshing out some of the concepts discussed in the first session and creating complex surfaces on wood. She will explore color by layering encaustic paints and adding printed or colored papers. Depth is achieved by layering wax in translucent colors. Helga carves into the created layers and writes or draws on the surface with India ink, carbon papers, or transfer foils.
