Our April meeting will be held on the SECOND Tuesday, April 10th, at the Burlington Public Library. The meeting room is the first door on the left as you enter the library. Hope to see you all there.
Don Wood is not only an accomplished wood sculptor, but also makes handcrafted knives, 18th-century firearms and is an expert scrimshaw artist. Don’s interest in art began as he grew up in Toronto. His family moved to Southern California and he eventually enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. After a cruise on the Lexington, even the USMC recognized his talent and assigned him as a draftsman and illustrator. After the Marines, he studied art, and his lifetime profession was in Lithography. Along the way, he continued to refine his artistic abilities. Don will talk about his work and show examples of all four of his crafts with pictures and several of his favorite pieces.
