Spend a day with Yann Merot

Roped Vessel – Morning Demo – starting at 10am followed by Lunch break at school (11:30 – 12:15)

The Slicing Angle Demo immediately after lunch – This is unique as it is entirely about learning technical skills and improving technique. It is spindle based, including use of the Bedan. This is not a “finished product” focused demo. People can see tools and techniques that might entice them to join a Hands-on class if possible.

Pebble Box – Final Demo

The classes will be held at Roger Dauer‘s shop in Anacortes.
