OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING
The main event. Longtime Nutmeg supporter Keith Tompkins will demonstrate that steam-bending is not just for people who make Shaker rockers and Windsor chairs. He’ll show us how he steams and turns wood for truly eye-popping creations, like his “Primordial Life Form” (above) made from Bradford Pear. You won’t want to miss this demo.
Plus. The 50- 50 raffle, a welcome to new members, and a show-and-tell of your recent work.
Where. The Turning Center at Brookfield Craft Center, 286 Whisconier Road, Brookfield. Meet-and-greet begins at 6; the meeting kicks off at 7.
