Successful Woodcarvers Gathering!

[Thor]

Hi all,
I just wanted to say that the Woodcarvers Gathering that my gallery sponsored on Feb. 18th was successful, had carvers show up, carve and get along great, and was so much fun that we'll do it again each month! You never know what's gonna happen when you start these things......whew!
If you would like to see the few pictures that I posted on my web site of it, the link is:

p.s. I also registered for my first classes / seminar down in Florida at the Suwannee River Woodcarvers Round up next month! I'm very excited to be going.
Is anyone else from this forum planning on attending that event?

Looks like you've started a carving club like thing. I'd be there in a heartbeat if only I were about 5 or 6 hours closer. Angry

Very inspiring and thanks for sharing!

Hi Thor,
When and where is the Swannee River Carving Event? Maybe I can get to it depending on dates.
It'd be good to run in to you there!

I wish everyone on this board could have come....I talked about you all, and encouraged the folks who came to join the WCI board, and shared my WCI magazines and my carving books too.

HI Wade,
I actually heard about it on another message board, but it is listed on the event calendar on WCI.

I'm going for the entire 6 days, and my husband will go fishing while we're camping there. I made reservations on Saturday at the campground it is filling up quickly. It's at Manatee Springs State Park....not too far from you. Good line up of classes in what looks like a nice "warm" atmosphere.
I hope you can make it. It sure sounds like fun.

LOL had to go to the internet to find out about a class in my own backyard. I work in Chiefland and had not heard about this! For those of you that come you will see how funny that is because this is not a big area.
The sad thing is as close as it is I probably can't make it because work is going to be very busy during those dates.

Thor ,how lucky you are to have a group of artists with this diversity around you , I totally envy anybody who has the oportunity to be involved with groups like that, I live in a beautiful area ,BUT nowhere close have I been able to get in contact with different Artists like yours ,
thanks for sharing

I have grape vines and cherry trees arriving in TN the second or 3rd day of the Suwannee River event, so probably won't make it, but maybe...for a day or 2 of it. I sure hope so!
