Next Generation at the LatheGranddaughter of long-time Guild member Anthony, is learning how to use a lathe. Her first projects were Christmas presents: a bowl for her Mom and a pen for her Dad, Anthony says, "She's very proud of the result and wants to do more. I'm happy to work with her because it improves my skills as well. Especially teaching, which I haven't done for years. She's a quick study and actually did 90% of the work." |
Trevor Myles Gifts Bowls to Senator Julie Milville-DechêneJune 2020 - Our very own Guild member, Trevor Myles, gifted two bowls to Senator Milville-Dechêne, as a token of his appreciation for her coming from Montreal to see the Gatineau Park. She wanted to see the problematic areas of the Park before she tables a bill to pass legislative protection to stop the NCC from allowing homes being built in the park boundaries. Trevor told her he turned the bowls from cherry and ash sourced from the area and gifted them to her as a memory of her visit to the park. She loves them, and kept rubbing both saying how smooth they were and loved the grain. Well done Trevor! |
