Finials & Miniatures with Patricia Saturday May 4th
Patricia Apt will feature her famous and fantastic miniature vessels, along with other fine turning techniques – such as delicate finials, useful as decorative box top features and holiday ornaments. Patricia has developed her talent in these areas to the level of Expert, even making many of her own tools. It’s especially eye-opening to see her hollow a vessel smaller than a ping pong ball, using common and exotic woods. Her eye for detail and form are amazing.
See you at the New Mexico Woodturners meeting 4 May, meeting starts at 10. North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center
