Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

And I'm lucky enough to have a place as well.

No idea what to expect, so it will all be new an rewarding.

Well it looks like I'm the first attendee to comment on the day.

To start with we were Guinea Pigs. Mark had thought up the idea for, and put together the course. He needed to try it out and learn where it worked and feedback on how it could be made better. I think he succeeded on both counts.

To see how he has developed his creative skills to enable him to produce some of his amazing work and at the same time to be helped to use those methods to put them to use ourselves to develop one small idea.

Yes it was small steps, it's taken Mark several years to achieve his level of mastery of the technique.

One day does not make you a master but one step does start a journey. And it promises to be an interesting journey.

We made nothing, turning (on this initial course) was not part of the aim, but I think we all left enthused to go and try the idea(s) we created and I have a feeling there will be some busy workshops tomorrow.

Mark, publicly I'd like to say 'Thank you'.

The course was amazing so much so that I had a job to get to sleep last night as my head was buzzing
Very thought provoking and made me realise just how lazy I am and that I must think more and work harder if I want to be creative.

Thanks all, Bryan, George

It was an intensive full day and I look forward to the next installment when we can get together again and re-visit some of the ideas.

Certainly I will let you know when the course is available (keep an eye on my website).

Gutted to have missed this. Feel that I, like  George, could do with a kick in the posterior to get going again and sounds like this would have been ideal.
