The Texas Woodcarving Guild State Championship Show and Sale takes on a little different format this year due to some scheduling conflicts. For 2010 the Show is going to precede the carving classes. The reason for this is that the facility for the show was only available before our carving classes. The times and schedule of events will be available in the TWG Newsletter. Judging of entries will be accomplished on Friday October 8th with the show being Saturday and Sunday the 9th and 10th. The Show will be in the Hill Country Youth Exhibition Center. Carving classes will be held at the Inn of the Hills Resort starting Monday, Oct 11 for 5 days. This will be the last time we will use the Inn of the Hills as the carving venue. Seems their Corporate Offices do not see the value of us being in their facility without major additional funding on our part. Future classes will be held at the Guadalupe River RV Park in two indoor, airconditioned buildings. The cost of putting on these events is constantly going up making it a job for the Officers and event coordinators to keep things going on the tight budget TWG has. Full information on all events will be in the TWG Newsletter and on the TWG Web Site at the link in this blog. The web site will be updated as soon as the final information is available
This years events promise to surpass all previous events, with a good selection of class to attend with some new instructors, more money has been allocated for prizes, in short event organizers, for both the carving and show are doing what they can to enhance the whole event. What is needed now is your attendance, the spring event attendance was down a little so your support of the Guild is important. This and the spring event are the times for Texas carvers and all their friends to get together.
Hope to see you all at Kerrville,
WW

Hi,
I am interested in carving some walking sticks/canes. I believe I would like to do it out of sassafras – Do you know of any classes in the Dallas area? I teach high school art and would like to do this as a project with my kids. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Than You,
Corey
