The Club had a raffle item item donated by Chipping Away so we raffled it off at the meeting. Tom Seymour was the lucky winner of a Chipping Away $25.00 gift certificate. Congratulations Tom and thank you Chipping Away.

The program was presented by Terry Kramer. Terry talked about face carving and the importance of light. He demonstrated the affects of light and the impact it has during caving a piece as well as the role it plays in displaying a piece. Terry had several excellent examples of finished pieces by himself and his students.

“I believe that there exists within each of us infinite potential, the ability to achieve beyond our greatest expectations. It is my intent and purpose to devote enough time and energy to my art that the result will be a journey into myself. I invite you, through my work, to share this adventure."

The following pictures show some of the carvings displayed by Terry during his presentation.

Great presentation! Thank you Terry.
