A PSA for classes at the Fayetteville Public Library. All kinds of interesting and free classes coming up at the library in October. Ones that I thought might interest folks in our group. Lasers, CNC milling, and 3D printing. All of these are short introductory courses but you must take the training before the library will allow you to use the machines in the Center For Innovation. I have taken the Laser training and will be taking the Adobe Illustrator Basic course to learn how to prepare a print for the machines. My goal is to embellish wood turnings with the laser.

Another thought, if you don’t like your mug shot on the Stateline Woodturners website, you can get a professional head shot at the library photo lab for free and it only takes a few minutes.

This is a link to the classes. Lots more classes than I described so be prepared to spend a few minutes reading. https://www.faylib.org/10978 Click on CFI Events to get to the course page. The courses I described are all in October so you will have to put in a date range. I subscribe to their newsletter and get all the courses in a neatly laid out email.

The Center for Innovation provides not only opportunities for the pursuit of artistic endeavors but also allows for technical and job skill-building. This space takes the library’s mission – empowering citizens through free and public access to knowledge – to the next level by connecting the community to technology and educational resources that may otherwise be out of reach for many. The space is open to all ages however, those under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Our very own Deb Ness was recently featured on the @WorthTheEffort (Worth the Effort Woodworking) YouTube channel at SWAT 2025!

Her impressive work caught the attention of Shawn Graham, and it’s easy to see why—her pieces are truly masterpieces. 👏

We’re proud to have such a talented artist representing our club. Congratulations, Deb! 🎉
