Description

The lathe used to be a utilitarian tool only, but in the hands of today’s artists woodturning has undergone a beautiful transformation. This stunning international collection showcases the work of 40 pioneering woodturners who have expanded the possibilities of the medium. Their pieces range from classic to humorous to sculptural to amazing. Curator Jim Christiansen introduces each master’s multi-page gallery with an insightful overview, and the creators themselves offer their lyrical thoughts on wood, nature, and art. Jim Christiansen’s creations have been featured in magazines and books such as American Woodturner and Wood Art Today. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and curated a number of regional shows and several major exhibitions, including Woodturning On The Edge in 2006, which featured groundbreaking work by leading turners.
