San Diego Woodturners Page 14 June 2013 We are looking into the possibility of bringing Richard Raffan to San Diego for some hands-on classes the week before next years Utah Symposium. Utah will be May 15-17, 2014 (Super Wednesday is the 14th and we will have an evening party on the 13th) so classes would probably be held between May 6 and 11. I need some feedback as to how many members would be interested. As most of you know Richard is a legend in woodturning. He is not traveling as much as he used to so I would like to take advantage of the opportunity if we have enough interest. He probably would not be doing a demo since he was here 2 years ago….just some hands on workshops. Class With Richard Raffan - 2014 shop would cost @ $275-300 and a 3 day would be @ $400- $425 and would as usual include wood and lunch. Richard is more expensive because he is worth it. This is an opportunity to get up close and personal instruction from the best instructor I know (and one of the nicest people you will ever meet). I have worked with him and watched him a number of times and I learn a lot more every time about tool handling, design, etc. Just as a comparison when Richard teaches at Craft Supplies each of 11 students pays $900 for 4 ½ days (plus transportation to Provo, hotel and meals). Our classes are a bargain. Only 8 people, close to home and lunch Pictures from the Fair Tom Edwards puts the finishing touches on a top. >>
San Diego Woodturners Page 15 June 2013 I was invited to demo my jewelry at the Channel Islands Club (in Ventura) May 25, 2013. Tom Benham (program chair) and his wife Andrea were gracious hosts. They have a lovely home in Santa Barbara. Tom has a really nice shop (of course we toured the shop) and had just received a HUGE load of very large pieces of beautiful black acacia which I drooled over. The club meets at a Middle School which has a very complete shop. The meetings are in a classroom but they have access to the tool room. Each of their meetings feature a show and tell. The club asked me to be “guest critic” and review their work. I had my choice of a Powermatic or a Delta like we use for our classes. I picked the Delta because it works fine for my small stuff and it was much easier for them to move into the classroom. They have a good AV setup with a monitor for the demonstrator which was really nice…I could see what they were seeing and it helped me put things in the right place for the camera. A number of spouses attended… probably to make sure the husbands learned so they could Sally Ault - Demonstrator by Sally Ault make some jewelry for their wives. I think there were about 45-50 in attendance. It was a really nice group and they had good questions. I am looking forward to seeing some nice pieces come from the group. I anxiously await seeing photos of their work.
