The highpoint of the American Association of Woodturners Symposium, if there can be anything above what I have already written about \ud83d\ude42 , would have to be the exhibits. This is where one gets to get up close to hundreds of woodturnings by the best turners in the world!<\/p>\n

AAW Instant Gallery<\/div>\n

There were several different exhibits that included the Instant Gallery, The Spindle exhibit, exhibits by Gary Knox Bennett and Merryll Saylan, the Chapter Collaborative Challenge and the Spirit of the Southwest exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Instant Gallery is an annual event where the attendees to the Symposium are invited to bring pieces in for this presentation. Each year, the attendees bring a wide range of beautiful pieces from all skill levels, from novice to professional.<\/p>\n

This is the largest of the exhibits with the last estimate that I heard was around 900 pieces! Unfortunately, although I took hundreds of photos, I can only post a small sampling here: <\/p>\n

A special gallery entitled ‘The Spindle’ represented the works of more than 40 invited woodturners, all to be auctioned at the Symposium in aid of the AAW’s Professional Outreach Program (POP). Here are just a couple of examples of these works:<\/p>\n

\nTo ‘broaden the conceptual horizon of turning for the participants’ there was a display of turnings by Gary Knox Bennett called ‘Twirlings’. Here are a few photos from this presentation: <\/p>\n

Another exhibit was the Chapter Collaborative Challenge, where each AAW chapter is invited to submit one collaborative work created by as many chapter members as possible, with a minimum of six participants. There are thrree categories for this exhibit; Artistic, Mechanical\/Technical and Fantasy. Here are a few photos:<\/p>\n

\nThe Spirit of the Southwest exhibition, an exhibit that focused on the Southwest geographical area, history, and culture was a juried exhibit that represented the feel and spirit of the Southwest. Here are some photos:<\/p>\n

They say that a picture says a thousand words but unfortunately they don’t do justice to seeing these exhibits in person. The sheer size of the display was breathtaking. For example, here are a couple of shots of the Instant Gallery area:<\/p>\n

As you can see the scope of this display was a sight to behold! ‘Looking’ forward to ‘seeing’ the next one!<\/p>\n
