Well this past weekend my wife and I took our RV to Mac Gregor Point Provincial Park to do some camping and to partake in the "Wild for the Arts" Festival held at the park last Saturday and Sunday.
The weather was sunny during the day and real cool at night, we were really thankful for the furnace in our RV. My wife spent some time on the lovely riding trails there and I spent my time with 2 other turners from our Guild. We demonstrated the various aspects of woodturning and explained the projects that we were working on. We also had the opportunity to showcase our work on our display tables.
The comments that we received from the various visitors that visited our site was really uplifting for me. This was my first full out event for displaying my work and having people watch me turn and listening to me explaining the various stages of the projects that I was turning at the time.
After all was said and done I came away with some new insights as to what I would do the next time that I would be involved in an activity like this. More variety and more smaller and more affordable items on the display table.
