About

At this free presentation  — on the first Saturday of the month for October only — McCormack will discuss his interests and inspirations in making public furniture, teaching other woodworkers, boatbuilding and setting up a shop.

Now living in Port Townsend, McCormack is a graduate of the cabinet and furniture making program at North Bennet Street School in Boston, where he worked as a teaching assistant and still serves on the curriculum advisory committee. He holds a Master in Fine Arts in furniture design from Rhode Island School of Design. His thesis project, on seating, included teaming up with an art teacher in Providence, Rhode Island, to help high school students design and build a bench for their school. He later worked with two other youth groups on projects in California, where their goal was to address the dearth of public seating in cities.

The monthly woodworkers' meetings always offer an informative presentation on various aspect of woodworking. It's a good opportunity to meet other woodworkers of all skill levels, learn what's new in the shop, and share your thoughts on class offerings and studio operations.

As usual, we’ll have coffee and nibbles. Free and open to all — no need to register.
