We are very fortunate to have Peggy Schmid as our featured demonstrator at the next Lowcountry Turners member meeting on Thursday, June 30. Peggy is the president of the Georgia Association of Woodturners, and her pieces are in private and corporate collections throughout the country. See her portfolio here.

As always, member meetings are free and open to the public. 6 pm at Maven Makers, 415 W Boundary St, Savannah.
