I have come to the realization that it simply is not possible to experience life to this degree AND record each newsworthy happening in the virtual world simultaneously. Its been over a week since my last update and there’s a lot to catch you up on. Stefano Catalani, this years ITE scholar, was in residence for a week. We took a tour at Winterthur with Charles Hummel and visited David Ellsworth’s studio. On Saturday, the residents wrapped up the week with a stellar demonstrations on Open Studio Day at UArts. In addition, we are getting down to the wire in preparation for the opening night exhibition of allTURNatives: Form + Spirit 2010. Mark your calendars and join us for a spectacular event on August 6th, 2010 at the Wood Turning Center. Amidst all this flurry of activity – Luc and Derek and Dave have written wonderful entries about their experiences also. You can read more on Derek’s page, Luc’s page. and Dave’s page.
On a personal note, I have been ‘learning the turning’ myself and produced my first piece in poplar and oak! So while we are all quite busy – fear not! Each event mentioned above will be featured in its own chapter coming soon to a virtual world near you!
