I have a show at The Gay Street Gallery running March 21 through May 17. Forty four of my bowls are up there, leaving only twenty eight here ar the present. Of course I will continue to build up my stock over the coming months. You are most welcomed to attend the opening, 4-6 pm, March 21, or stop by any time you might be up near The Inn at Little Washington.
Feel free to peruse what I have on the website, or to contact me if you have a special tree you might want a piece turned out of.
Here are a few images from the 2025 Artisans Studio Tour:
Figured Ambrosia Red Maple.
I am currently working with some very nice and very curly Silver Maple, and some fine White Oak Burl.
Turning bowls straight from the log is my craft and my art. Working with green wood allows much spontaneity, as shavings flying from the sharp edge of the gouge reveal each new bowl. The inherent beauty is featured by simple shapes. These thin arcs from the log, sanded, polished, and oiled, capture the character and history of each tree, its soul.
Maple, cherry, walnut, oak, ash, apple, peach, poplar … there is so much variety growing in our area. Peculiar details such as grain, color, texture, knots, burls, ant holes, or spalting often determine the final shape. Those traits are my palette and my glazes. Many pieces are meant to serve as functional salad bowls, while others are created simply for their artistic presence.
