Photos from a workshops today - this one on the skew with Brad. Six of us walked away with a much better understanding and comfort level around using the skew.

Check out our website for additional offerings, and join us for some learning and turning.

Good evening members,

Here is the link to our March newsletter. Many thanks to Sara for pulling it together.

Enjoy the newsletter, and as always, feel free to reach out with ideas, photos, or anything you’d like to see in future issues.

We are hoping to upgrade the demo experience in the turning center and are looking for two flat screen televisions.

They should be in the 46-60” (diagonal measure) range. Anything from the last decade would be light enough (45 lbs. or less) to ceiling mount. Older TVs are too heavy. So if you have one that’s a couple of inches thick (vs. older ones 4-5” thick) hit REPLY to this email with the brand and model number and we’ll check it out. We need HDMI input (vs. composite) for the video signal.

If you’re recently upgraded to the new monster size screens, your old television could live on and feel much love. If you have a possibility you’re willing to donate to a good cause, let us know!
