VWA Monthly Meetings & Seminars Visit to the Workshop
of
Charles Sandford
Tuesday June 22nd 7:30pm
Working with wood is part science, part art. The art comes with experience.
It is about having an eye for what works. And for what looks right. After 25 years of working with wood, Charles Sandford has the technique. He's worked for renowned antique restorers, furniture designers and architects. In London he was the only hand-turner in its biggest and oldest wood-turning workshop. He can restore a battered piece of furniture to its original beauty. And he can create a new piece of furniture that glows with timeless quality.
Venue: Charles Sandford Workshop, 6/8 Bellevue Crescent, Preston. Melway ref. 31 D2 www.charlessandford.com.au All Welcome. Light supper and Drinks Provided. Gold coin donation.
