As with all things, time moves on here we are well into
2012 and the workshop and group is as strong as ever. New enquiries come in,
mainly by email and training is organised, regulars pop in to solve problems
or create new ones! and I look forward to those visits as it gives me the
opportunity to help. We have been very blessed with influxes of wood and the
latest is the offer of a storm felled Oak, reckoned to be over a hundred
years old, we will try and retrieve as much of that as we can.. The year
ahead looks interesting and I feel that we are well placed to take advantage
of any opportunities that present to us.

Every year Spinal Injuries Scotland is involved in a fund
raising quiz and dinner, we have two pieces being auctioned off at this event,
one is a laburnum Sculpture and the other a large Ash platter. We are now selling items in the SCOTTISH SHOWCASE GALLERY
in Kircudbright, so if you are in the area pop in and see our items. I dont
think our shop will reopen untill around October.

This
woodturning and woodworking organisation and
workshop is open to ALL but is targeted to provide a knowledge base
for the disabled, wheelchair users and those less than able as well
as the able bodied. I know and understand what it feels like
to be isolated and working alone, I want this to be a place where
practical problems are solved and where your determination can be
set free. As a person of limited mobility, it is only through my
workshop that I now find myself free of my limitations, some days I only manage 30 minutes in the workshop and on a really good day I can be there for 3 hours. On a personal level my condition is degenerative, my head tells me I can "do stuff" but my body lets me know that its not true, if it wasn't for the workshop I am convinced that I would not now be here, it gives me purpose and its that purpose that I want to pass to others.
If you need
advice or assistance in setting up a workshop PLEASE make contact. Around
Scotland and Glasgow I am offering an
introduction to woodturning training as well as the advice. I can also be booked for demonstrations and
workshops , all I
need is a power point.

THIS IS A NOT FOR PROFIT
ORGANISATION
BUT WE WANT
TO BE SELF FUNDING
A new
avenue for us in 2010 is the online shop,
profit from
ALL sales, internet or craft fair, goes into the workshop and to charity.
In 2009 we
donated a total of £650 to charity, January 2011 we donated £638 to
Marie Curie and £200 to BLESMA Crief.
