[Woodcarver] The "Cat" is Back...

[Bill Judt]

Gentle Subscribers:

The Cat (read: List Owner) is back.
Got home from Red Deer last night... LATE!!!
I had a good trip back, with a tailwind. My trustworthy 1991 Lexus 
LS400 got 31 MPG (Canadian miles per gallon!!!!) and the weather was 
spectacular as I sped from west to east across Alberta and 
Saskatchewan.

The workshop was excellent. My class had 9 students, which is one more 
than normal... but since they were all "keeners" I had no trouble 
handling them. You can see pictures of the instructor and the class at:

Among the students was Tina Toney,  one of the authors from Fox Chapel 
Publishing. She was a delight to have in the class, and I felt honored 
to be able to introduce her to my style of relief carving. She is a 
GOOD student, possibly since she has taught hundreds of students over 
the years. Her project .... the "Noah's Ark" from Woodcarving 
Illustrated a couple of issues back... turned out real fine.

You folks from the US of A who like workshops might want to give the 
Red Deer Summer Woodcarving Workshop some consideration. It is top 
class.
The brochure for this year is available in PDF format at:

Remember that CANADIAN CARVING WORKSHOPS are VERY friendly to US 
participants, who also benefit from the exchange rate and the pleasant 
Canadian summer weather.
