Artistry in
Wood 2018
An exciting, jam-packed weekend—
this October in Wilmington, Ohio
The 37th Annual Artistry in Wood Show, sponsored
by the Dayton Carvers Guild, promises a weekend
of inspiration, connection, learning, and fun—and,
of course, some good friendly competition between
carvers. In addition to displays and vendors offering a
variety of woodworking projects, tools, and materials,
the event features a competition with cash prizes for
woodworking projects. Last year’s show included 294
entries and 187 exhibitor displays, and drew a crowd
of 3,500.
Over the course of the weekend, there are also free
demonstrations organized by
Woodcarving Illustrated
and
Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts
. Scott Phillips,
host of The American Woodshop, usually shows off
some new tools. The other demos range from general
woodworking to carving to scroll sawing. Additional
activities include raffles, children’s projects sponsored
by the Western Ohio Woodworkers, a silent auction,
and a banquet on Saturday night. The show will take
place at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio, on
October 13 and 14, 2018. We hope to see you there!
