Pilgrim Firs

2017 Camp Pilgrim Firs Symposium Registration

Details
Created: Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:49
30th Annual International Stone Carving Symposium
at Camp Pilgrim Firs, Port Orchard, WA 
July 8th-15th 2017

The Symposium PilgrimFirsFeild
We invite you to join us at Camp Pilgrim Firs for up to eight full days of playing with stone, communing with nature, and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow stone enthusiasts. Bring yourself, your creative energy, your humor, tools, and a favorite piece of stone. If you don’t have stone or tools, we have an entire tent set up for beginners with tools and instructors.
The Camp provides cabins and lodges that are connected by walking paths through the forested grounds and three full meals a day, so you’ll have the ultimate freedom to delve into carving and making friends. Evenings are filled with slideshows, informational talks, a hoot of a fundraising auction, a music-filled final night party, campfires and even nighttime swims in the lake.
Stone and tools are available for purchase by our vendors.

Accommodations
The Camp has two lodges with shared common areas and bathrooms with multiple dorm-style rooms that sleep 3-4 people each. There are 11 duplex style cabins, each with private decks. For those who like to commune with nature, limited space is available for tents or campers.

Sculpture Walk on the Meadow Saturday, July 15th
We’ll host an outdoor art gallery that’s a perfect opportunity to show your work in a supportive and appreciative environment. We encourage everyone to bring a finished piece to display and to invite your friends! Bring pedestals if you have them. NWSSA takes a 20% commission.

Registration

FOR YOUR WORKSPACE BRING:  
  • Please remember to clearly label your items! We want to make sure your borrowed, lent or misplaced items will find your toolbox again!
  • A canopy for shade or rain
  • Tools, if you have them
  • Respirator, safety glasses, earplugs or ear muffs, sun screen, bug repellent
  • Ground tarp to protect the grass and ease pick-up of stone chips
  • Stool, chair, work table, sandbags
  • Bucket & broom to sweep up chips
  • A fan to blow dust away from the field
If you use air, power or water, please bring:
  • Power: 50 ft. Electric cord,  a 10-25' cord, all 12/3 gauge, and an electrical splitter
  • Air:  3/8"  50 ft air hose, a shorter air hose, and an air hose splitter. A pressure regulator with 1/4" industrial (I/M) connections ready to connect between your air hose and tools. (Otherwise you'll be dealing with about 130 psi directly!)
  • Water: 50 ft hose, a shorter hose and a water hose splitter preferably with a Y connector and a shut off.
  • Having these items will make it easier for the people running the field and will also be useful in your own studio.

SCULPTURE RELATED:
Bring up to 3 pieces of sculpture to show at the Art Walk on Saturday, as well as pedestals if you have them. (There are a limited few for use).
We especially encourage beginners to display sculpture - even if it's a "Work In Progress"!
There will be a 20% donation asked of you if you sell a sculpture as well as the WA state sales tax.
If you have a sculpture you would like to donate to the scholarship auction, you will receive 30% of the sale.

DIET:
If you have special dietary considerations, you need to be responsible for them yourself. The Camp will do their best, however, they are cooking for large numbers and cannot fill all special needs. There are kitchenettes in the Lodge and a few of the cabins to store & prepare meals.

ESSENTIAL: Have FUN!!!
