If anyone is looking to expand their turning skills you can take a class with me at Arrowmont. Won't be about pen turning, but about everything else turning. I'm taking a class called "the art of non-violent woodturning" which I'm hoping to learn more about the "cuts" and not just ripping away wood. It's a week long in July in Gatlinburg, TN. I'm driving. It's going to be about 1100$, that's including tuition, a room, and 3 meals a day.
