Popular Post Mark J Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I just returned from the American Association of Woodturners' annual symposium. What a great event! Kudos! to AAW for an accomplishment as successful as it was herculean. Part of the show is a huge Instant Gallery where folks can display work they've done. I brought Offering, Dreamery and Sedona to display. As always there were a great number of truly fanastic creations in the instant gallery, so imagine my disbelief and delight when walking by my spot I noticed this ribbon announcing that I had won an Excellence Award for my piece, "Sedona". What an honor, I'm still stunned. Also, I have had another piece (My Scars Are Me) juried into the AAW's annual Members exhibition. This is the second time this has happened! The exhibition will be in St. Paul like last year, and runs from Sept through Dec. They do a preview of the exhibition at the Symposium, so I took the opportunity to snap a pic. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 That is a fitting award for your piece. My comments on it previously about how it's astonishing that you made such an angular geometric design from a process that is circular still stand. That piece is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I don't understand your surprise. Those are some beautiful, and extremely challenging, pieces of artisanship. The ribbon is well-earned. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs until Dec 27, 2022. There is much more to see there than my piece, so if you find yourself nearby with time to kill, I think you'd find a visit worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
