I'll answer my own question.

I think this information is current. Would like someone in the know to confirm it, though.

Never been to it . What caliber of work or turners of reknown are represented or more to the point . Is it worth a trip from Gippsland ?

Last year: Hughes, Marcolongo, Wraight, Potocnik etc.

Knocked my socks off.

OOOOH, your making me drool and I sporting a smile to boot.

Thank you very much might see if the local woodgroup would be interested in going.

[JackoH]

Ribot. It is worth a trip from anywhere in Australia if youir main interest is turning..

(Don't you lot wear your foillies!)

[rsser]

Yep; last year's student prize winner make me feel like a rank amateur.

When she's either given permission or is looking the other way, whichever comes first !

Gotcha!

Thanks rsser, I see what you mean about being into turning to appreciate the show.

I didn't look at all the slides cause it was so damn slow at downloading. May be my server or perhaps that site is slow as a wet wick, I don't know.

Still , thanks once again for the link. Have to say some of what I saw was Pretty ordinary, not to say that I can do better so I guess I had better get my butt down to Nunawading and hopefully eat humble pie.

Wonder if Stephen Hughes sculpture/turned piece is a self portrait? certainly reminds me of him.

Ok, you got me.. seeing as how I have Friday off, I think I will finally get there this year.

I have had it on my "things to do and see" list for a few years now....
