Show & Tell is a virtual event via Zoom. It is an opportunity to share your projects and woodworking experiences with fellow members. The event begins with a social activity at 6:30 PM.

It is a chance to share: projects; new tools; jigs and fixtures; process methods; repairs; shop layout; or mistakes and how you overcame them. If you have something to share or contribute, please contact Roy Pierce (reptpo@rit.edu) up to two days prior to the event. Zoom link will be sent on the morning of the event. See you then.
Green carving - spoons, etc.
Emilie Rigby is a green woodworker and author who also reproduces antique tin Christmas ornaments. She lives in a little cabin on a lake in Upstate NY. Her main goal is to make craft more accessible and has been known to be a great instigator in getting someone into a new hobby. She has been carving for 12 years and teaching handcraft for just as long. Her classes are a curated mix of nerdy deep dives, lighthearted forays into new skills, and truly terrible puns. The main focuses of her work are wooden spoons with highly decorated handles as well as "vegan taxidermy" wall sculptures (think skull mounts completely carved out of wood). Her work can be found on her website emilierigby.com as well as her Instagram @rigby_handcraft. Emilie will be hosting a demonstration of how she does her carving as well as special tips and techniques.

ABOUT OUR NATIONAL MEETINGS:
Part of the value of being a member of RWS is the opportunity to hear and see nationally known speakers. These individuals are from all over the country and have done presentations and/or have blogs, YouTube videos, etc.
Meetings are usually held once a month between September and May. The presentation is held on Friday evening at St. John Fisher University Basil Hall. From 7-8 we gather, socialize and share projects. From 8-9 our speaker presents.
Members and non-members can attend the Friday event which includes networking, displays of members’ works, silent auction items which are typically tools or accessories that members are looking to sell (often for VERY reasonable prices), access to our books and DVD library (members only), a raffle, a brief business meeting followed by the speaker presentation. Finally, the national speaker usually has a table for displaying their work and/or books.
National speakers typically facilitate a workshop the next day which requires registration.
