Program
Our guest speaker for September will be Katie Kilanowski.
"My name is Katie Kilanowski. I'm a fellow wood-nerd! Professionally, I build custom furniture and cabinets for interior designers serving Bay Area residences. I teach local woodworking classes in San Francisco and travel to craft schools for short-term teaching sessions whenever possible. In my free time, I explore my artistic work which has most recently centered around the process of steam bending solid reclaimed wood."
"In my BAWA talk, I'll focus on sharing my journey as a woman in the professional woodworking field, the importance and value of mentorship in craft, and the process of making my steam-bent light fixture, Helena. Join us!"
