A Treat at Center for Furniture Craftsmanship

Jorge Castaneda ~ Downeast Maine

>Just came back from the opening of a show at the Center for Furniture Crraftsmanship in Rockport Maine:

"A Nation of Enchanted Form"

A wonderful world class exhibit of turnings and carvings, with many big names from all over the country and Canada, too numerous to mention.

Imagination is the underlaying theme, and impecable execution, a real treat

I came out of the show charged, it was very inspiring, the show runs from April 22 until June 16.

Highly recommended, if you are in the area don't miss it.

>Jorge, what a treat that you got to go. I love shows like this. They are so good for the creative soul. You definitely feel inspired when you leave something like this. Wish I was going to be in the area, but no such luck :(

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Yes it was really nice to see something like that right in our court, most of the time we just listen to what happens in other parts.

That Center for Furniture Craftsmanship should be in your list of places to go, just like Arromount, total inmersion with great instructors, hey! you could be one too, they offer all kinds of stuff.
