It seems you will be coming up through Oregon and Washington. I'm sure you have your trip planned out, but in case you were aware there are a couple stops you must do. The first is in Portland, where Gary Rogowski has his school. It's a wonderful place and Gary is a pleasure to talk with.(www.northwestwoodworking.com)<BR/><BR/>The other stop is in Seattle at the Northwest Fine Woodworking gallery www.nwfinewoodworking.com. It showcases many local woodworkers. There are some very talented woodworkers in the Northwest.<BR/><BR/>I hope your journey goes well, and you see a lot interesting a beautiful things.<BR/><BR/>MikeMike Lingenfelterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477935048340882230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228241731765189695.post-62230511415746110042008-07-31T15:45:00.000+01:002008-07-31T15:45:00.000+01:00I have spent five summers taking classes at the Co...I have spent five summers taking classes at the CofR Fine Furniture program. Krenov's departure may have left the school without a nationally known anchor 'name,' but its devotion to excellence in craft, and to the principle of creativity guided by the wood, has never changed. It is a testimony to the continuing passion for the school that its graduates regularly return, both as students and teachers of summer classes. Because so many students remain attached to the school and the area, Ft. Bragg has over the last twenty-plus years acquired a large and closely knit community of woodworkers, whose combined talents are doubtless unmatched in any place its size (and probably in any place of any size). The summer classes range from three days to three weeks, and every woodworker would benefit from some exposure to the CofR's approach to work, as well as to its extended family of local woodworkers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450215183041359365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228241731765189695.post-2721186461944664512008-07-31T09:45:00.000+01:002008-07-31T09:45:00.000+01:00As a student spending 2 summers there, I can tell ...As a student spending 2 summers there, I can tell you it was one of the best experiences of my life. I met some wonderful, passionate people deeply engaged in pursuing excellence and beauty in their work. The community college system is lucky to have such a place.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442051052549497977noreply@blogger.com
