Two of the countrys leading woodturners, Nick Agar and David Springett, have collaborated to produce this new and exciting book. Together, they have developed a novel approach to woodturning using thin, narrow planks of wood (usually of little use to woodturners) to produce hollow, twisted vessels. This turning method is described in detail and there are 14 designs, each accompanied by fully illustrated step-by-step instructions plus an inspirational gallery. Nick Agar also describes how he uses his highly original decorative methods and artistic skills to complete the finished vessels. This is a fresh and exciting approach to woodturning that creates modern, dynamic pieces.
Nick Agar is a woodturning artist, creating large-scale, multi-textured turned-wood sculptures. In addition to exhibiting widely and appearing at international conferences both as a demonstrator and a judge, he and his work have featured on television programmes by the BBC and ITV. Nick runs woodturning courses in Devon.
A former woodwork teacher, David Springett has been a professional woodturner for over 30 years. Specialising at first in lace bobbins, he has became increasingly interested in more experimental work, such as the seemingly impossible pieces described in this book. David has demonstrated his woodturning techniques throughout the UK and USA, Canada, Germany, Israel and Ireland. He is on the Register of Professional Turners (RPT) and is a member of the SOT, AWGB and AAW. David is the author of Adventures in Woodturning, Woodturning Wizardry, Woodturning Trickery, and Woodturning Full Circle, published by GMC Publications.
Jacques Vesery is an Artist/ Sculptor whose work is featured in numerous public and private collections including the Detroit Institute of Art and Yale University Art Gallery. He has lectured on design and concepts within his work in France, Italy, England, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the US and his work is featured in more than 20 publications.
