I have been delinquent in posting because I've been so busy, but I just wanted to give a plug for Don Derry's demonstration and hands-on workshop. Don came to San Diego and gave an outstanding presentation of turning principles including form, ergonomics, philosophy and tool design.
The hands-on class was a three-day event. One day was focused on form; one day on hollow forms; and one day on his coloring process.
If you ever get a chance to see Don or participate, don't miss the opportunity. He will be at both Provo and AAW this year.
