Ooops!

Terry read in the paper that the Photography Club, meeting over at the Wellsboro Library this evening, was to have a speaker who would talk about The Wolves of Yellowstone. Having some interest in photography, Yellowstone and wolves it sounded interesting so off we went after dinner.

The meeting was supposed to start at 7 PM and we arrived ten minutes early to find a speaker already making a presentation...about woodworking. He talked about how he made pine trees out of single billets of wood, inlaid trees, birds and turtles into the backs of plank chairs and deacons' benches and the making of several other items from his shop. I found this all very interesting. Then his partner talked about her working with wool and leather to make rustic clothing for reenactors, rendezvous, and pow-wows. Yet another topic of interest to me.

Needless to say we were at the wrong club meeting! Turns out these folks were from the Wellsboro Arts Club. Talk about serendipity! I spoke with the craftsman and his lady afterwards and they invited me to their workshop. That's an invitaion I will definitely accept once the Dickens Christmas weekend is over. (He's trying to produce another hundred or so trees in the next three weeks so he can sell them--and the four hundred or so he has in stock--at that event.

The Photography Club? That meeting is on the night of November 13. So between that and the Tiadaghton Audubon Society dinner meeting on the 14th our week is pretty well planned.
