149/365: Imelda Connolly, Co. Meath

As we approached Imelda’s driveway, we ran into a bit of an issue. There was no way we were getting our very tall campervan under her very gorgeous, but very low hanging trees. I thought it to be a completely fitting entrance to a woodturner's home. Imelda isn’t just any woodturner, she is the Chair of The Irish Woodturners' Guild (which is the oldest woodturning association in the world).I hold my hands up and admit that I have no clue what woodturning is and Imelda graciously explains the practice to me in beautiful detail. What I take away from it is that if you love being creative, working with your hands, using machines that could take your eye out and the odd go of a chainsaw, you’ll love woodturning. Have a listen to our chat and find out how to get involved, I’m currently pricing up campervan sized lathes. RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.
