Monthly CMW meeting and demo with Christine Smith at the Folk Art Center
About this event
Please join us on Saturday, January 17 at 10:30 AM
for a demonstration by expert turner
Christine Smith
in person in the auditorium of the
Folk Art Center, 382 Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, NC
Open to the public. Free admission.
About the Demo
Christine will demonstrate her approach to carving on a turned work and to casting pewter to create added adornments.
Christine started woodturning in 2016 and was immediately hooked after turning her first piece. Within just two years, she became a full-time woodturner in 2018 due to the high demand for her work at shows and galleries.
The pandemic in 2019 altered Christine’s woodturning journey, leading her to begin carving birds of prey. Since then, relief carving and sculpting with locally sourced woods have become a major part of her artistic practice.
Today, commissions, demonstrations, and the growing demand for her classes all reflect the quality and intricacy of Christine’s work.
