Meeting Agenda:

Welcome: Les Bailey – President

Show and Tell and President’s Challenge

Our members bring in their latest work, describe how they made it and discuss the problems they experienced and how they solved them. This is always a great learning experience for all.

Demonstration –  Christmas Ornaments

Club Member Harry Pye has been involved in turning unique Christmas tree ornaments each year for the past 11 years. At this meeting Harry will share his secrets for coming up with unique ornaments and will show some of his previous creations. He will also turn a snowman Christmas tree ornament. For the demo, Harry has chosen a small snowman. There are two variations of this ornament, one with a high silk hat and one with a derby hat. If time permits, he will also turn a small, handled bell. Harry will also discuss how he finishes his ornaments.

A group of four vases and bowls on display.
