Arts Center Display

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well finally got time to go down and get pictures of my turnings at the Carnagie Arts Center. Some of you wanted to see the display. I was really pleased as the feature artist the last two months my display is in the center of the room. It is kinda hard to see but you can see my ornaments, birdhouses and bells on it. I feel pretty good about the the exposure as I have been getting comments from people around town. For the month of November I just got the check for the sales of my turnings last week. It paid for the new Jet 1220 so I am happy about that.

I can see why you are the featured artist. The old guy sitting in the background seems to be enjoying it too. Congrats!

We are happy to hear of your success with the display. You have spent a lot of hours at the lathe this holiday season and it has paid off.

Bernie,
Beautiful work!! We spent the night at the KOA there this summer and I remember seeing advertisments for the Arts Center. Now I wish I would have stopped in there.

Congrats!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. It does feel good when you hear people talking about your work and that it is appreciated. She asked me yesterday if she could keep the display for thru next year. I told her yes. So we will see how it goes. She says they have some good summer sales there so hopefully I will sell some more. I just ordered a dozen more bottle stoppers so need to get those done and down there hopefully before Christmas. Thanks again.

Robert I love that 1220VS. It is a dream to use so far.

Way to go Bernie, I think one of the biggest compliments you can get is to have someone like your work and want it enough to shell out cash for it!! Nothing says I love you like cash right?? Nice display too, was the "stands" that everything sits on your idea or did the Arts center have those? Either way it works great and really gives the viewer a good eye on everything. Again congrats!!

[Ken Glass]

Bernie,
Great display of your work. It is set very well to show off your beautiful turnings. I don't remember you showing that dark HF with the lighter finial on the forum? I really like that, of course I really like everything else in the room too. "What a wonderful showcase of your talents." Way to go...

[Wally Wenzel]

Very impressive display and your work is outstanding , i should be so good. Wally

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. I appreciate it. Jim the stands were a effort of myself and the director. She had the stands and we came up with a idea to stagger the heights. It really worked out pretty well.

[Toney Robertson]

Nice looking display and paying for your jet with one months sales --- WOW.

I can only hope to bring in that much cash with my turnings.

Great job.
