Dan Sawatzky

If you read SignCraft magazine (and even if you aren't a sign person you should read SignCraft magazine) then you are probably familiar with the name Dan Sawatzky.  Dan has been doing magic with signs and theme parks for many years up in Yarrow, British Columbia.  He is also a regular contributor to SignCraft.  We first met Dan after he bought a router and EnRoute and started creating some cool stuff with them.  After he had worked with his new router for a few months he had created a series of amazing pieces using the alphabet for inspiration ("T" is for "Texture").  When we saw his article in SignCraft we knew we needed to get to know him.  Since then we have become good friends with Dan and have helped him with his Sign Magic Workshops that he presents twice a year.

Anyway, I invited Dan to participate in our upcoming EnRoute Workshop (October 23-24) and he agreed to come.  I am excited because I know that he will contribute great information about how he does what he does; and even when he isn't presenting he will contribute to the conversation.  I talked to Dan today and he said that he has already started working on a design or two that he will use to demonstrate his techniques at the workshop.

The date for the workshop is quickly approaching, so if you haven't yet made your reservations then time is running out.  We're planning for a big turnout and I'm sure we will all learn a lot.
