Over the past thirty years, David Ellsworth has become known as one of the premier designers of turned wooden vessel forms. His work is included in the permanent collections of thirty museums and numerous private collections.

David will be the guest demonstrator at the May 10th meeting of the WoodturnersGuild starting at 7pm at the NCState Crafts Center. As always, the demo will be free and open tothe public, though this time we will hold it in the center's larger woodshop area.

Update: David will also do the gallery critique so bring your work sample if you want to get feedback from the master.
