>I was talking to the workshop coordinator at the Appalachian Center for Crafts. They still have room in several of their workshops.

Nick Cook, Al Stirt, Tom Fortenbery and Mark Gardner are teaching this summer. Nick most of you know. He's a fantastic instructor. Tom Fortenbery has been teaching woodturning for years and is a really good instructor.

Al Stirt is a good instructor and just plain nice guy. If your interested in carving and painting on your work he's really good here. Mark Gardner is young but really talented and does some fun things to the work. We had him do a day long demo years ago and really learned a lot.

If your interested call 615-597-6801 or see the link below

>I would second John's endorsement of these workshops. Nick is one of the best in the world and can actually teach you to use the skew.

I just took a class from Al Stirt and can only reiterate that he is a great guy. However, the real gift was him teaching me to look beyond the surface of my bowls and platters. He got my creativity cooking.

Enjoy
