On Thursday May 27th, Artist and turner Janine Wang gave a talk to club members on the touch of turned objects. Her presentation — entitled Gestures Of Holding — involved approaching turned objects with respect to the sensation and connection one has when grasping an object and shaping something with this objective in mind. The presentation — held in the Peters Valley woodshop — discussed form, function, design, the hand and holding. Janine also showed some of her work.
Although attendance was limited to 7 people due to PV Covid protocols but was well received. Members brought samples of their work for discussion.
I have always loved f course this has more to do with tactile esthetics then technique but it could be fun and broadening to explore if she were available.
