to the 27th Anniversary SouthWest Association of Turners Symposium This is the 27th Anniversary of Southwest Association of Turners. On behalf of the Board of Directors from each of our 28 member clubs, the Executive Committee, the Committee Chairs and all of the many volunteers who work to make this the best Woodturning Symposium in existence, I would like to thank you for your support of the SWAT Symposium for the past 27 years. We expect this will be a great learning experience to all attending. There are 52 vendors who offer tools and accessories, lathes and lathe accessories, woods of all species, finishing, dyeing and enhancement items, sanding materials, new tools and turning items, stabilizing equipment, etc. Once you have purchased that new tool, there will be a Sharpening Booth where you can put the edge on the tool that you desire and then you can go to the Hands On or Pen Turning Booth and try out the new tool(s). We will have the famous and ever popular Two-for-One drawing where there are opportunities to win beautiful art pieces and tools, 1 large lathe (Vicmarc VL300) and 3 Jet 1221 midi lathes. The Two-for-One drawing tickets will first be drawn on Saturday night after the banquet. This will be for approximately 40 art pieces donated by peer selected turners from across the SWAT region. All tickets drawn Saturday night are returned to the bin earning the “Two-for-One” name. The second half of the Two-for-One drawing will occur after lunch on Sunday. This second drawing will be for tools, wood, turning accessories donated from our vendors, with the penultimate prizes being the large lathe and the midi lathes, which will then conclude the festivities of the 2018 Symposium. Our Art Gallery is second to none. It is the largest of its kind in the U.S.A. and is such a special area that we dedicate an entire room for art pieces that are displayed by turners that are attending the Symposium. Any turner has the availability to display (some are for sale) up to ten items in our ART GALLERY. Also, a section in the Art Gallery will be dedicated to the Beads of Courage exhibit of boxes that will be donated to various hospitals to be given to youngsters that are struggling through various treatments for serious life threatening diseases. You can check the SWAT website for more information and a link to the Beads of Courage website. For a very small registration fee of $140 you will be exposed to 7 internationally known Lead Demonstrators (Stuart Batty, Keith Gotschall, Ashley Harwood, George Hatfield, Craig Timmerman, Alan & Lauren Zenreich) and 17 Regional demonstrators, which create 63 turning rotations. You will receive an electronically generated handbook, access to a tremendous Art Gallery, a demonstration by Stuart Batty & Ashley Harwood on Friday night, various vendors and two separate drawings for art and tool items. Women in Turning will gather during lunch on Friday, and World of Woodturning meets after lunch on Saturday. None of the above would be possible without your participation and the efforts of many volunteers that work hard and long to bring the SWAT Symposium to you each year. So, welcome and may you have an outstanding experience at the 27th Anniversary of the SouthWest Association of Turners Symposium.
