Thank you. I do feel lucky. I cold-emailed him two years ago asking if I can come sand or sweep and he invited me up. He and his family have been great and I’ve met amazing people there.
His workshops are my favorite weekends of the year, and I’m working during them, so I highly recommend it if you can swing it.
I've looked into some workshops, including his. It's not in the cards for me now, but something I'd like to do someday. I also enjoy coming back to the central coast (I went to college in SLO). Jory did some videos on his Hollister credenza for the TWW Guild. They captured (possibly unintentionally) the laid back central coast vibe with the open doors and the birds chirping in the background.
Edit: Nevermind. Answered down thread. Lucky you. Beautiful area and Jory's work is phenomenal.
