Summer Trip—July 17
Get ready for a great Guild Summer Trip to the workshop of
Andrew Pearce Bowls in Hartland, VT. Andrew Pearce has been making wooden bowls since setting up his shop about 6 years ago not too far from his father’s Simon Pearce handmade glass shop in Quechee. Andrew’s wooden bowls are made from locally sourced cherry and black walnut logs, and we will see the entire operation from coring to finishing. Since the factory in in full swing only on weekdays, we have scheduled our visit for a Wednesday, July 17th. For a preview of our tour, go to
andrewpearcebowls.com/pages/makers-story and click on the video.
________________________________________________________________
Please Note: Guests are welcome.
This is a family friendly event. However, for this trip, please let our program coordinator know if you want to bring others and whether they will be joining us at the restaurant. Needed for planning purposes.
if you are bringing other non-registered friends or family.
________________________________________________________________
Andrew Pearce is located at 59 Woodstock Road (Route 4), Hartland, VT, between Quechee and Woodstock, and Google Maps will get you there; it’s a little over an hour’s drive up beautiful Interstate 89 from Concord, NH. Our tour will begin at 10 a.m. when the store and workshop open.
As always, spouses are invited to attend and registration on the Guild web site is required; be sure to indicate if you will be joining the group for lunch so we can make reservations.

New Member Forum
We have a new member forum at
gnhw.org/forum The purpose is to provide a place for member engagement, discussion, help, advice, project info sharing, etc. It is hoped subgroups will take advantage of this and there are categories dedicated for these groups.
Anyone can view content. However, to reply to a topic (thread) or to start a new topic, you must Sign Up. You may also add images and files as part of the conversation. Polling is also available if needed. I think you will find it an easy to use system.
By default, you will be set to follow all posts or topic creations. An email is sent to all followers for each post. You can adjust which topics you want to follow through your profile or right on the email you receive.
There are six topics currently on the site with a number of replies. Please give it a look and create an account. There is no need to sign out each time you leave.
https://www.gnhw.org/forum?p=latest
Peter James will be managing the forum. He is an experienced user and moderator. You can contact Peter at
forum@gnhw.org if you would like to help.

From Fosters.com...
MILTON — Dave Foote, president of the Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers, and Dr. Annamarie Pennucci, also from the Guild, recently delivered a donation of equipment worth approximately $5,500 to the Nute Middle High School Woodworking Program.
This donation included three Rikon VSR mini-lathes, turning tools, a sharpening system, and miscellaneous safety equipment.
Foote and Pennucci worked with Ben Carleton, Nute’s woodworking teacher, as part of the Guild Grant Program. The Guild is dedicated to furthering woodworking through the sharing of knowledge, skills, and experience among its members and the general public, and provides grants to institutions, organizations, and schools to assist them in the furtherance of the woodworking education of students and individuals.
