Well I think it’s safe to say that a really top class weekend was had by all who came to see Simon Hope at our workshop. Simon spent Saturday demonstrating and Sunday giving a masterclass to five of us. Everyone seems to agree that he is an excellent demonstrator and teacher and we’re all looking forward to having him back for a return visit some time.
These are some pictures of what we made (or half-made in my case!) during the masterclass. While Rolf was masterng the art of thread chasing the manual way, the pieces made by Jake and myself incorporated threaded elements made using Simon’s thread-cutting jig. As a result of our success the committee members present agreed it was exactly the kind of thing that the club should own… so we bought one! Jake and I will be on hand to assist if anyone wants to try it out.
So a big thank you to Simon and, to those who missed it, plan ahead carefully and make sure you don’t miss our next great professional demo with Nikos in December!
