President’s Message January-February 2020

From the President…. 

Dear Sculptors,

I’m sitting in a warm house looking at snow-covered ground outside as I write this (not in Seattle). By the time you get this the holidays will be over and our post-holiday party will be approaching (February 8^th, 4pm at Marenakos – Click Here for details).

We had a nice time at a get-together in my studio a few weeks ago. We talked about textures and had a few examples in front of us plus a bunch of images to discuss. I like textures as much as the next person, but the best part was seeing my carving friends in December.

Many members have complained that they do not get notices of these events and would have liked to come. If you don’t get these email notices you aren’t in our listserve. Look at our website and click the “join the listserve” button in the lower right corner of the front page. We do not spam you and you will get notices of these events and other random interesting stone topics on an every-now-and-then basis.

If you have an idea for a fun get-together when the symposiums are not in session, drop me a line.

Carve well, have fun, and wear a good respirator,

Ken Barnes
