Club Meeting for February 2023
Our Club President David Delker
David Delker will present “Plates, Platters, or Whatever Those Shallow Bowl Things Are Called.” I admit I had a difficult time selecting a name for my upcoming demonstration series. “Pretty and Practically Perfect Plates and Platters” seemed
like too much awkward alliteration. Anyway, I will demonstrate how to make plates/platters/bowls with decorative rims
in January and February. Part 1 at the January meeting will include wood selection, several unique chucking techniques, turning the bottom, and preparing the top surface for decorating.
Part 2 in February will feature a variety of ways to embellish the rim of a wide-rimmed bowl, plate, or platter. Techniques covered will include iridescent paint, metal reactive paint, texturing, and turning the “bowl” of the plate, followed by finishing the piece. I may even show some pyrography or piercing, depending on the time available.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO JOIN US.
We meet once a month, usually the first Saturday, from 8:30 until noon. We enjoy a social time with other members followed by a short club business meeting with announcements and information about events to come. We dedicate a large portion of our club meeting for demonstration around the aspects of woodturning. Then we conclude with a time of show and tell were members can talk about their latest woodturning or woodworking creations.
