I would like to thank Brian Hayward for sending information regarding
Ian Kirby's web-site ( http://www.kirbystudios.com ).
The site connects with the Woodworkers Club in Norwalk, CT, where Ian,
who has been a good friend to our club, and other craftsmen give courses
on a regular basis. The schedule for this February is as follows:
Feb. 4-6, 19-20 (also March 4-5, 18-19): Carousel Carving with
Dana Mitteer
Feb. 9: Sharpening with John Matchak
Feb. 11: Pen Turning with Andy Orr
Feb. 12 & 13: Plane Craft
Feb. 15 & 17: Router Table Top
Feb. 23: Make a Child's Growth Chart
Feb. 26 & 27: Carve a Totem Pole Bear or Thunderbird
Feb. 22, 24, 29 & March 1: Build a Candle Stand Table
Brian also provided information about some courses not listed on the
website at present. For example, there will be courses for "Absolute
Beginners" and a course on building "Low-Tech Indoor Furniture".
Costs vary, but, for example, the course on the Router Table Top, which
will be given from 7 to 9 p.m., is priced at $140 for members of the Norwalk
Woodworkers Club and $150 for non-members. Materials are included.
Visit the website if you can. If not, call Kirby Studios at (800) 238-7724
for information.
