"Signed up for More Schoolin"
The girls in my office wanted to know when Summer Vacation is ? So, I called Arrowmont and signed myself up fer some education, June 23-July 4th: Two weeks of wood turning with Wayne Shipman from the Bay Area of San Francisco.

I guess I'll be buying a lathe. I'll get to pursue another hobby, Digital Photography. This will be my 3rd trip to Arrowmont and my 10th or more trip to the Smoky Mountains National Park, but... My first since getting into computers, the internet and digital cameras. In addition to photographing the work in our turning class, there will be other crafts displayed in other classes and in the exhibit halls. I will share those photos at the Creek and on my website. I can also add to my collection of photos of Sheds, Shacks, Barns and Mills.
The Smoky Mtns. National Park is the most visited in the United States. Although Gatlinburg is often crowded and distinctly commercialed, the Arrowmont campus is in a park like setting in the heart of town, an oasis of peace and calm. Room and board on campus means you don't have to go anywhere. The instruction is excellent. Instructors have numerous awards and their crafts are in museums and top galleries. I highly recommend the school.
