    Default Hands-on workshop with master artisan - Alan Williams

    Alan Williams is undeniably Australia's best creator of magnificent, sculptural bansawn boxes.
    We have managed to secure Alan to hold a 2 day, hands on workshop at Artisans Retreat on February 28th & 29th 2012.
    This is in the week following the Artisans Expo which runs from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th February 2012.
    There will only be 6 lucky attendees for this rare opportunity to participate in Alan's workshop (2 places are already taken, so only 4 spots left)
    For those unfamilar with Alans work, I have included a pic or 2. His work is in the top wood galleries (Bungendore, Leura, Artisans Retreat)
    Feel free to call me if you are interested in this workshop.
    Cheers

    I have no hesitation in recommending Alan's training days to anyone interested in making bandsawn boxes - he is a good communicator and a great craftsman.

    Thanks for the testimonial Tony - glad it is not just me who is convinced it will be an awesome couple of days.

    You are right Jim - they will be the "lucky" six!

    John, I know it is a trek from down there - we do not get down to see family as often as we would like. Having said that, cheap flights to Sydney then only a 3 1/2 hour drive to our door! Many have said the view from our place is very much like Burnie/Devonport area.

    Someone has a great chrissy present!
    Only 3 spots left, so secure yours before they disappear.

    John - I will run a Tassie trip by Alan while he is here - can you get numbers?

    Compliments of the season to all forumites!
