I had a career in science teaching and teacher training in England and then with UNESCO, mainly in Tanzania and Iran, giving me a deep appreciation of culture and history. Now retired I have spent eight years striving to be competent and creative in this wonderfully sharing company of craftsmen.
Here are some bowls I have loved turning.
 |
1 A lidded bowl in Australian walnut - a fascinating grain. |
 |
2 A lidded bowl in lignum vitae, a very hard wood with interesting grain. A bevilled glass in the lid with a pewter possum figure acts as a handle. |
 |
3 A fun bowl in pine with a ‘woodworm' filling in a knot hole. |
 |
4 A bowl with agate in the lid, the agate made circular with a glass diamond cutter and a little glass figure panning for gold. |
 |
5 A red gum bowl. The lid insert is Huon pine fretwork illustrating waves and fishes with a panning figure as a handle. |
 |
6 A Himalayan pine hollow vase with steam bent black bean supports. |
