2009 Sign Magic Workshop dates set

Post by Dan Sawatzky »

Since we deal with so much more than just CNC routing in our workshops we have renamed them for next year. The popular workshops are now called Sign Magic Workshops. The workshops deal with a wide vqariety of subjects including inspiration, 3 dimensional designing, drawing, presentation, building projects for the router, texture, finishing with acrylic paints, faux finishing, sculpting with Magic Sculpt and fiberglass-reinforced-concrete, marketing and a whole lot more. We plug three days with the things that took us decades to master through trial and error in our own business.

We have now set firm dates for two Sign Magic Workshops in 2009. Interest is strong for both dates with some folks already signed up for the February workshop. I'm looking forward to them with great anticipation! We'll have some new things and wonderful surprises in store... as always.

The dates for the 2009 Sign Magic Workshops are

February 19-21, 2009
October 16-18, 2009

Location:
Sawatzky's Imagination Corporation
Yarrow, British Columbia, Canada

This is a great workshop. Last month I was fortunate enough to be a part of Dan's gathering and it was filled with information and lots of laughs. Just seeing inside Sawatzky's creative workshop was well worth the money and effort.

I just can't keep it for myself any longer!!!! 8)
Booked the workshop and on the 18th of februari I will be on the plane to Canada.
JIEEEHAAAAAA :D
Took a lot of my vaction days and will stay on a little longer to visit Vancouver(Island) and maybe the rockies if weather permits.
I need to learn, more, more and MORE! So anxious 7 weeks can be very long if you have to wait...
Realizing we are in the 2nd renaissance of the arts.
Learn, copy and trying to improve...
Still in the learning phase ;-)

February is coming FAST!

Post by Dan Sawatzky »

We were proud to welcome Erik to the list of those who will be coming to Yarrow in February. The workshop is a little over half full already! We have already routed the 3D name plaques for those who have booked and Rebecca is making them look pretty snazzy in the paint department. While we are slow over the holidays we are getting a jump on cleaning and organizing the back areas of the shop in preparation for the workshop. This is going to be a good one!!!

Happy New Year all!
