I spent the week of April 15, 2018
at Arrowmont with 10 other woodturners.
There was no special class and we were free to do
what we wanted to do and to learn from the other turners.
Another side benefit to not having a standard class
was not having any food service.
We took turns and cooked for ourselves.

The food was outstanding!
What did I do in the studio?
Well, I tried something new.
I used the book Woodturning Full Circle
and treated the book like I was taking a class.
Following are my results.
The first learning projects were three Ribbon Streptohedrons.
I added magnets to the ends of one
so it could be used for paperclips.
I embellished these with pyrography on all surfaces.
Next I completed a ribbon knot and made it into a stabile.
The ribbon knot can be placed on the hanger
in an infinite number of positions.
My last item was a Marble-Run Streptohedron.
The project included also making the required tools.
For being the first one I have made I am pleased.
I know the second one will be an even greater success.

And in case you were wondering,
I'm already signed up to participate again next year!
