Upcountry- Wood Turning Demonstrations at The Picken County Museum

Ready to learn the fine art of wood turning? Then plan on being in attendance on Saturday, February 3, from Noon until 3:00 p.m., when the Pickens County Museum of Art & History hosts its monthly Saturday Session. Upcountry mountain Artisan Warren Carpenter, whose work currently is on display in the museum’s “Drawing with Wood” exhibition, will demonstrate basic techniques, a few tricks of the trade, and discuss the various methods used to accomplish fine turned wood.

Mr. Carpenter resides in Seneca, S.C, is a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, with works in many galleries and collections, and operates The Arts Company studio with his wife in the Ramcat Alley section of Seneca’s historic district. Plan to participate in this program as part of the Pickens County Museum’s continuing effort to provide a variety of interesting and educational programming for the community. Funded in part by donations from area businesses and local art patrons, the museum is located at the intersection of Highway 178 at 307 Johnson Street in upstate Pickens, is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday from 9 a.m.-7:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m.-.4:30 p.m.
