March Workshop
The March Workshop started with a minute's silence for the late George Colton and his favourite prayer, the Carpenter's prayer, was read by Brian McAdoo.
A large crowd of over 50 people attended the workshop, which was given by Peter Manning and Ger Hennessy. Peter turned a four-legged wicker stool and a carbiole leg. Ger turned a spinning top, which he designed especially for his grandchildren. Click here for a preview of some of the photographs. Full report to follow in the next edition of the newsletter.
