conferences / events I consider attending, 2024

figure carving conferences

• GOW, Gathering of Woodcarvers — Sandwich, IL
• classes by Marie McDonough — Galena, IL
• Caricature Carvers of America — they're no longer holding one in Indiana, now it's only in Colorado :( :( :(
• Affiliated Woodcarvers Congress — eastern Iowa... they're cancelled now too :(
• Evart Roundup — I've never been to this one, but it might be interesting
• 48th annual show at Oshkosh Convention Center — Oshkosh, WA — I've never been, but I've heard it's pretty big. I think it's only a show and competition, with no seminar / classes

other nearby wood classes I might be interested in

• classes at Woodcraft
• classes at Rockler — Schaumburg location, Orland Park location
• Chicago School of Woodworking

BDSM

• Twisted Tryst
• Kinky Kollege — it sells out VERY quickly
