YOUNG TURNERS DAY AUGUST 25th 2007
Four more young people were introduced to woodturning at the Essex workshop of Simon Hope assisted by Tony Witham and Brian Partridge
YOUNG TURNERS DAY JUNE 2nd 2007
Four young people were given an introduction to turning on the first of the Eastern Region youth events. This was hosted by Simon Hope at his workshop in Essex, supported by Tony Witham and Brian Partridge. After some basic exercises each was able to complete a weedpot and a small bowl. One comment made to me was "this is fun" let us hope that we will continue to help the young to find things to do that "are fun"
Simon keeps an eye on Lewis.
