Join us for a members-only evening with woodturner, Mark Sfirri. Mark grew up in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and is also referred to as Delco, was the setting for many scenes from the HBO series Mare of Easttown.  Mark will share reflections of growing up in that area, the relevant history that relates to the series, and his visits to some of the scene locations.

Mark Sfirri taught full time in the Fine Woodworking Program at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania from 1981 and became professor emeritus in 2017. He has been a maker, researcher, and writer and has conducted demonstrations and lectures throughout North America, England, France, Ireland, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand.

Michener Art Museum (PA), among others.
