Cross border wood turners in Ballinode on Saturday 21st July 2012

The next meeting of the cross border wood turners chapter will be in Ballinode Hall (as usual on the 3rd Saturday of the month) on Saturday 21st of July 2012. After a terrific display from Margaret Garrard from Yorkshire in June, this month will be facilitated by champion turner Nick Agar from Devon. Inspired by organic forms, pottery, and his natural surroundings, Nick specialises in hollow forms, large diameter work, wall sculptures, and surface enhancement. His award-winning work often incorporates carving, weaving and metalwork. In addition to exhibiting widely and appearing at international conferences both as a demonstrator and a judge, Nick is in constant demand for commissions from collectors, his wide range of clients including HRH Prince of Wales, Dukes, Duchesses and the Royal jewellers, Aspreys. He and his work have also featured on BBC and ITV lifestyle television programmes. It’s a privilege to get demonstrators of this calibre to the Ballinode meetings. New members welcome.
