 A Walk in the Woods
September 2 through December 28 , 2012
This year’s annual juried member show, A Walk in the Woods, features work by more than 30 AAW member artists who created work inspired by the title theme. As always, the juried member show reflects a wide range of styles and approaches, and offers a glimpse into the creative workings of the woodturning mind. The theme was chosen in honor of the many trees and forests of California, but artists were free to interpret the title for themselves.
Much like a real walk in the woods, during which one encounters nature’s diversity, this exhibition offers a “walk” through a forest of different species, concepts and techniques.
Art From the Lathe
Selections from the AAW Permanent Collection
Art From the Lathe features work by noted wood artists working in a variety of styles. Designed to illustrate the range of artistic expression and techniques used by masters of the field, the exhibit includes works that are 'pure' - in other words created entirely on the lathe - and pieces that have been carved, burned, sandblasted, segmented and reconstructed.
Also on display: vintage lathes and reproductions of lathes from the Viking era to the late 1700s.
