 Nick Agar
Nick's gallery is a good stopping off point for us on the way to Cornwall (Dartington). He has some wacky ideas and is always good for a chat. |
Nick Arnull
We think it's the carving detail that makes Nick's pieces so special .... or could it be the colours he uses? Either way, it works for us. |
Andy
Binfield
You'll find Andy's work at numerous shows - his fruit is
wonderful |
Matthew
Calder
Matt's nurture forms are quite amazing as are his wall pieces. Lovely use of blue. |
Robert
Chapman
Not
only a woodturner but has also written a number of books
|
Ian
Clarkson
Great thin walled vessels, lovely work, nice man, does excellent chicken dinners. Nuff said. |
Jimmy
Clewes
If you can get him to stand still long enough Jimmy turns
a nice piece. Also produces some nice furniture. Check out his DVDs. |
Cindy Drozda
We met Cindy at Ripon where she was demonstrating. The three sided box in our collection is lovely. |
Richard
Forgan
A winner at Axminster, Richard is pondering
the possibility of going "fuller" time. Someone
to watch - and a site we have helped to develop for him. |
Dennis
and Patricia Gleadell
Sometimes they turn alone and sometimes they collaborate
- either way the output is definitely worth a second look. It's sometimes difficult to prise a piece away from them if you want to buy it but don't give up! |
Colin
Gosden
Low toggle factor (an in joke) and with a unique approach
to life (that's the polite version) Colin's work stands
out - and there's some usually to be seen in the next recommendation. |
Phil Greenwood
Phil turns in Yorkshire and was the proud turner of wood from the Balloon Tree, a famous tree from the East Riding. |
Dennis
Hales
If
you like colour in your life, check out Dennis's work
- lots of sparkle and plenty of excellent fruit too. |
Mark
Hancock
There's more to Mark than the trefoil shapes for which he
is known. Get him to show you some of his bowls - or look
at the ones we have managed to pry away from him! |
Mike
and Gill Hayduk
Mike and Gill make decorative puzzles - from small to large
with a few new ones every year. |
Julie
Heryet
We've
been buying Julie's work for a few years now and never fail
to be impressed. |
Phil
Irons
Phil's
a big Aussie bloke with a great sense of humour. Also
useful to know if you want to buy a lathe! |
Scott
Irvine
If you like your pieces to be bold then Scott's work may
well appeal.
Working with some lovely burrs in particular - we'd love
some more pieces - but where to put them! |
Paul
Khosla
A west country turner whose work we found in Mid Cornwall
Galleries. We think he lets the wood do the talking which
we like. He now works with Nick Agar in Dartington. |
Art
Liestman
A very friendly Canadian chap with a strong knowledge
of the Sherlock Holmes alphabet (see his Dancing Men series)
and a liking for jigsaw puzzles. |
Alain
Mailland
His site is fantastic and his pieces are out of this world
- take a look, we're sure you won't regret it! |
Gregory
Moreton
A chilean pine (monkey puzzle!) expert and a lovely man
too - you can generally find him on the RPT stand at shows. |
Stuart
Mortimer
As one who has successfully broken into the American market
- a quick look at Stuart's site (and the pieces on our site)
tells you why.
Never satisfied and always pushing the boundaries, Stuarts
pieces have quite rightly found their way into most of the
major worldwide collections.
Oh - and a great guy to boot! (Can we have that discount
now please Stuart?). |
Binh Pho
Not sure what we could say about Binh's work that could do it justice. It's simply wonderful. The detail and colours he uses are amazing. |
Laura
Ponting
Laura's work varies from very small to very large, from
scorched to dyed and includes "rigid" and wet
turned work. |
Dave
Regester
You will no doubt have read Dave's articles about "being
a woodturner" in Woodturning magazine |
Marcel
Van Berkel
We first met Marcel at Tools 2003 where he entered a good
number of pieces in the competition and walked away with
the first prize - now in our collection along with a couple of other pieces from him. |
Don
White
In the middle of nowhere but well worth the journey to
see his work. Just make sure you know what your budget is - there are too many wonderful pieces to choose from!

David
& Abby Woodward
David & Abby Woodward's gallery in Hay. Just go there! Thanks for
all your help David. |
|
Burford
Woodcraft
Another excellent gallery and worth a visit if you are ever
in middle England. BW stocks a refreshingly
diverse range of "all things wooden".
Pop in, say hi to Jayne or Robert, (the owners), buy something
then go over to The Copper Kettle for some of the nicest
refreshment around; take a load off - all without breaking
the bank. |
Delmano
Gallery
An indication of the difference in attitudes between the
US and the UK. Also some pointers as to the difference in
prices - and you wonder why the UK turners are so keen to
break into the US market. Conversely perhaps this explains
why the US collectors are starting to buy UK turners - in
this country!
Once described as the "next ceramics" - the moral
- get 'em while they're still affordable. |
From
The Wood
David and Abby Woodward's gallery in Hay. Just go there! Thanks for
all your help David. |
Kestrel
Creek Gallery
Showcasing some tremendous Australian turners this is a
site to watch.
This one is particularly dynamic and engaging - worthy of
regular revisiting or get on their mailing list. |
|
The
Association of Woodturners of GB
The National body - and a useful reference point as to what
is going on. We very much enjoyed visiting the instant gallery
at the 2003 Loughborough seminar - and have posted our "snaps"
of most of the pieces on this site under SEMINAR on the
navigation menu. |

Laymar
Crafts
An
excellent reference for all things wood on the web. Whether
a turner, collector or just with a passing interest - this
is a good central point from which to disappear to all corners
of the web. |
Woodturning Online
