Booth #: GS46Artist bio: I have been drawn to woodworking my whole life. I remember watching The New Yankee Workshop when in the early 90's thinking I want to do that. A few years ago before Covid I rediscovered the Lathe, more specific, turning green on the lathe. I take green wood and turn it to final size and shape then put it aside to dry. While it dries it moves and distorts so that no 2 bowls are the same. I enjoy the surprise when I uncover recently turned bowls, sometimes a lot of movement, sometimes cracks, sometimes just a simple beautiful bowl.
