Each year we host two workshops in which we share all of our 'secret' techniques and methods. Our attendees travel from around the globe to be immersed in our creative world for three days, learning all we can squeeze in those hours. We begin at 8:00 am each morning and go until 11:00 pm each night. The first workshop focuses on our CNC routing and our finishing techniques but we also deal with a great deal more as well. This includes inspiration, marketing, presentations and how we tackle our projects. The second workshop is all about our sculpting techniques.
We like to make the experience over the top in every way we can think of. Janis and her helpers serve up awesome home cooking and delicious treats. In the shop the whole crew pulls out the stops and makes it an experience not to forget.
One of the things we do is to make name plaques for each attendee. Each one is different, custom carved and painted. They make a nice souvenir for our guests and also serve to show the broad variety of design possibilities that are possible.
With only four more working days left before the first workshop the name plaques are in the final stages of painting. Here's a sneak peek of a few of them.
We are counting the days until our guests arrive. It's going to be fun.
