The symposium itself was great as always, all that action all those old friends and all that Lathe Art all in one place all at one time, always a blast! Peter was full on demonstrator with 6 rotations and Deb and I stayed most of the time in our HannesTool booth. We have the tools in full production now and are looking forward to a bright future for them and us, the tools are receiving a warm reception everywhere we go with them.

After the symposium was over we drove westward because we had promised Peter and Ellen the Grand Canyon and of course we were up for that as well, it was amazing as always. When we turned east we drove thru Monument Valley on to Arches National Park followed by an incredible scenic drive along the Colorado River on rt 128 then up into the Rockies on I 70 thru the Eisenhower tunnel and maybe the best of all we drove to the top of Mt Evans 14,270 feet of elevation. The weather was a bit sketchy and we almost decided to not go but it turned out to be the best part, I had been up twice before and Deb once both times in good weather but this time with clouds,rain and wind it was extra special; added a great deal to the excitement of it all, before it was over we saw snow pellets and 39 degrees, WOW!!! After that it was a hard push for home, Boring but we made it in three days.

Here are a few pix of our travels, to see more go my web album here.

Hi I’m JoHannes Michelsen and I would like to welcome you to my website. I am a full time professional woodturner and have been producing woodturned art for over 30 years.  This site is dedicated to two things, the woodturning teaching that we do here in Manchester Vermont at the “Johannes Michelsen School of Woodturning” and to the presentation of new works of art. I have had my woodhats on www.woodhat.com as art and as hats; on this site you will see my new direction with more pure art for arts sake vessels and other wood turned artwork. You will also see a few hats from time to time because there are “hyper” hats which are considered as fine art.

The Woodhat is still the main teaching focus here at the woodturning school; but we also often feature other exceptional woodturning instructors. Graeme Priddle has been here twice and is returning this year as well. I also intend to offer some beginner and advanced “Master” courses. Once there is demand we will also offer courses pertaining to the suspended vessels and the amphorae style little pots. So if you like what you see, speak up and let us know we are easy to get in touch with. Email us here with this contact form or call us at the studio anytime 802-362-3481

On this website you will also find links to our other web sites www.FromTheHeartStudios.net which will act as our “mother site” when I say our I mean me in concert with my wife Deb Fanelli, “From the Heart” is the name of our studios here in Manchester. Deb will have her own site www.DebFanelli.com dedicated to her “high art” spoons and metalsmithing.

I also have HannesTool.com where you can learn more about and purchase my line of “Ergonomic Woodturning Tools” and other tools of my own invention, design and manufacture. We also offer unique collection of  “hard to find” products from other manufacturers that I consider, “The Right Stuff” that leads to a good wood turning experience.

I will be regularly updating my blog here on this website, be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed or just check back for all the exciting updates, photos and stories.

Please take your time, have a good time and hopefully enjoy what you see.

Don’t forget to check out our other websites as well!

Thanks,

JoHannes
