    Regular Meeting Via Zoom - Cindy Drozda: Signature Inlay Box with Finial


    April 29, 2020

    This month's regular meeting of OPCAAW will be an online zoom meeting featuring a demonstration by famed turner Cindy Drozda. Cindy will be demonstrating how to turn her signature piece, a box with inlay, an in-fitting lid and a finial made from one piece of wood.

    Cindy, a Boulder, CO, resident, is a full-time woodturning artist who is known for her precise techniques, fine details, and analysis of form and the elements of successful design. Her elegant lidded vessels with delicate finials bring a contemporary flair to classic forms. Cindy shares her woodturning knowledge and passion as an international demonstrator and teacher. She has been turning since 1985.

    Before choosing woodturning as a career Cindy worked as a cabinet maker, rebuilt airplanes, and made hang gliding equipment. In 1988, she participated in a 6 month crossing of the US by non-powered hang glider.

    Cindy's Zoom presentation has a limit of 100 participants, so OPCAAW members will be given first preference for online attendance.

    The schedule is as follows:
    6 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.: Join Zoom meeting. Non members will be allowed in at 6:15 if the meeting's participant limit has not yet been reached.
    6:15 p.m. to 6:25 p.m.: Announcements from OPCAAW President Brad Stave
    6:25 p.m.: Show & Tell Slide Show. Email photos of work you'd like to show by noon on April 27.
    6:45 p.m. (approximately): Demo starts.  The demonstration will last about two hours, with a 15-minute break half way through. Please be sure to mute your microphones after signing in to the meeting, and ask to be recognized if you wish to ask Cindy a question.

    This is our first club meeting via Zoom, so please be gracious as we work through using this technology together.

    Online meeting via Zoom. OPCAAW members in good standing will receive a link to attend.
