Description: Form, Design, Thin-walled Turning and Piercing

In the first half of this presentation, Malcolm will share his sense and knowledge of form and design. This is a talk with a very extensive slide presentation, which looks at different aspects of form. The goal is twofold:

The second half of the presentation will explore thin-wall turning, both cross-grain and end-grain, including videos of the techniques used in turning thin walls from dry wood and of the tools and techniques used for piercing.

There will be two short live lathe demonstrations, and a discussion of a number of Malcolm’s pieces and how they were made.

Malcolm's website includes many photographs of his work.
