Greg’s Biography:
My Name is Greg Gallegos. I have been artistically inclined since I was very young. I was heavily into wood shop in high school. I first fell in love with the lathe there. It took me another ten years after high school to be able to purchase a lathe.
After years of properly learning the craft and practicing the skills, I felt I was ready to start selling, I started with the local craft and art markets, which lead to several large national shows.
These days, I have settled into a fairly normal routine of being spontaneously creative at times and then prodigiously productive at other times. Trying to find a happy medium…not likely to happen but…I love wood with a passion which keeps me wondering what the next piece of wood I cut into will show me. I try not to limit myself to a particular set of skills. I have turned just about everything there is to turn. I love them all. Hollow forms, natural edge bowls, functional tableware bowls in production runs, whimsical pieces, and decorative carving as well. I do gravitate towards working with green wood to completion. I really feel that it gives the wood its most simplistic forms and keeps the organic quality of the wood intact.
Class Description:
This class is for those woodturners that have already learned the basic skills of woodturning.
Greg will start off the class demonstrating the process for making these podlets. (See the above picture of the podlet.) You should have enough time to make two podlets in class, as Greg works with the class to provide one-on-one assistance throughout the process.
For Greg’s class, you can sign up for either one of the classes or both of the classes. Both classes will be the same, but if you would like extra training time with Greg and personal practice time, consider attending both days!
Class Fees: One class – $250.00; Both Classes – $425.00
Material Fees: $20.00 per class
This is a non-refundable, “pre-paid” class to hold your position for the event.
These individual one day classes will be held at the new Bull Valley Hardwood woodturning classroom facility – September 7th & 28th, 2019
Facility Location: 18014 Collins Rd, Woodstock, IL 60098
