Open Day Presenters

The Open Day presenters were tireless in answering questions and demonstrating their skills.

  • Gaven amazed onlookers with his meticulous approach in making bracelets.
  • The crowd responded well Josie’s pen making presentation.
  • People were amazed that Gordon had so many different unfinished bowls that he was able to polish.
  • Besides having an oil painting of John Bayliss, Roger was able to advise how to inexpensively make picture frames.
  • People loved John Hanley’s intarsia figures but seemed intimidated by the time & precision required to complete them.

Open Day Donation

One of the highlights of the Open Day was the presentation of a $500 donation by Brian Leslie and Lorraine Watt, president & treasurer of the Peninsula Old Time Ceilidh Dance Group. When Lorraine & Brian heard WOSP has to move to new premises to make way for the new pool they decided to run a function to raise money to help with moving costs. In thanking Brian & Lorraine, John Bayliss, WOSP President, added “I am proud of the club and all its members as they do a fantastic job in contributing to the values of the community”.

Open Day ~ Intarsia

Intarsia is a woodworking technique  that uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like picture with an illusion of depth.

The pictures are examples of Intarsia made at the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula (WOSP) workshop.
