Plans for AWSA Conference

No pictures this week, just blogging my family's plans for the next week or two.

Our yearly AWSA (Association of Woodturners of South Africa) conference starts this week down in Port Elizabeth. We leave Pretoria on Wednesday moring early. Trent Bosch has been invited to the conference so he'll be showing us some of his techniques and probably imparting a lot of infoemation. I'll be taking some pieces shown in this blog for the gallery there and will be showing some pieces from the gallery in the next blog. For those who will be at the conference see you in Port Elizabeth!

After the conference we'll spend some time in East London and I should be back in Pretoria about the 2nd October.

Some Items completed at last

More colour......

Still doing some playing with colour, I've been busy trying to complete a previous piece as our next meeting is soon with the homework being some kind of enhancement. I figured that I have never tried being really bold with colour so therefore the experimentation.

A piece seen in the blog earlier -burnt and coloured with some fabric dye. The burning seemed to enhance the grain.
