Visiting Artist: Michael Hosaluk

---

We were very fortunate to have Michael Hosaluk here for a visit yesterday in the UW shop. Michael gave 5 hours of demonstrations to the undergraduate wood classes and introduced them to the exciting possibilities that the lathe can bring to woodworking. If you ever get the opportunity to see Michael at work... take it! He is an amazing turner and wonderful instructor.
