Chapter president John Howard has the following opportunity announcement for SPSW members:

Cynthia Gibson Seminar - October 16-17 

At this time, we still have 5 slots open for members to enroll in next month’s Pyrography seminar with Cynthia Gibson.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16 th from 9:00 – 4:30:
Will see what she calls “Pyro 101” during which she will discuss wood choices and proper preparation for wood-burning. Participants will gain practice by working on a grid and create a series of patterns. Please bring a wood burner, tips, and a dry, well sanded maple board approximately 8” X 10”. More detailed information will be sent to participants after enrolling for the classes.

On Thursday Oct 17 th from 9:00 – 4:30:
Cynthia will demonstrate the design process she uses and then students will apply those principals to enhance a project they bring with them. Students should bring a project with them, or a flat board sanded to 600 grit. Light woods such as maple, box elder or pear are preferred.

Costs for the seminar are $100/day or $180 for both days. The seminar will be at Nancy’s shop in Bonney Lake. There will be a lunch break where people can either eat a sack lunch they bring with them, or go to one of the many fast food venues in the area.

If you would like to attend, please let David Best, our program chair know ASAP. You may reach David at (253) 732-5654 or e-mail him at boompadavid@gmail.com. Slots are very limited, so this will be available on a first come, first served basis.

I hope you can join me at this seminar.
