Report on meeting 18th September 2025
Tonight we had a visiting Turner – Gary Lowe (The tartan turner) . He provided a good sized crowd with a fascinating and informative evening on Finials of all sizes, ranging from bed posts to small boxes. His ability to describe what and how he was doing something at the same time as actually doing it was appreciated by all of us.
Our next meeting. Thursday 18th September 2025 6.45pm
Doors open from 6pm
We welcome back our old friend Gary Lowe ( The Tartan Turner) who is making an occasional visit to us. Tonight he will demonstrate finials and more.
We are also expecting some visitors from the USA so members are invited to bring a single piece of work for the ” show table” so that during breaks we can show them what we do .
