Look over there! Is it Greenland?
Nick Agar spent several days in the Liggett woodshop between the Utah Woodturning Symposium and the AAW Symposium in San Jose. He demonstrated making a Viking Bowl for the Pikes Peak Woodturners, and then held two all-day classes so that we could all become Vikings, too.
The Viking bowl was inspired by Nick’s visits to Norway. He combines the drama of a northern sunset with a metalized finish that evokes a Viking shield. (Note the silver finger!)
Nick and Stuart Mortimer collaborated on a stunning vessel for the AAW Symposium which combined Stuart’s twistwork with Nick’s carved and metalized gears. We expect to see more gears in Nick’s work for the Worshipful Company of Turners’ exhibit in London in October.
Thanks to Nick for inspiring many of us in Colorado to try new decorating techniques in our own work!
