September General Meeting

Welcome to Fall! I hope you all had a wonderful summer an are now looking forward to another WGO year. Our first General Meeting of the 2025/26 year is this Thursday, September 11th. Our demonstrator this month will be Carl Durance who will be doing a demo on the segmented vessel like the one pictured here:

Here is Carl’s bio: Growing up on a large chicken farm, working with his hands came naturally to Carl, instilling values of strong work ethic and respect for all things natural. Creative instinct and desire for challenge led to the position of Associate Director of a leading-edge computer software group at the University of Waterloo. Carl now focuses that creative energy and desire-to-learn to ever-increasing artistic endeavours across a wide range of media, including wood, glass, metal, clay, and stone. Carl lives in a tranquil country setting in Georgian Bluffs, hemmed between the shores of Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment.

Also, please note that, since we’re starting on a new WGO year, 2025/26 WGO Membership fees ($80) are now due. You can bring cash or a cheque to the meeting, or you can send an e-transfer to jimlang55@outlook.com.
