Friday March 14th, at Bow River Woods, the FVWG hosts a day long, hands-on class with international artisan Molly Winton. Class size is limited to 8.
“Since childhood I have always had an interest in Native American cultures, lore, and artwork. I have also been fascinated by prehistoric cave drawings and petroglyphs. These interests have served to be an inspiration for my artistic interpretations.” [Molly Winton]
Molly Winton, www.turningmaven.com, has been turning wood since 1998, and delving into various surface enhancement techniques (primarily pyrography and branding), since 2003. She has a strong commitment to form, and believes this is essential above all else.
