This month.............Brian Turner

Brian has been creating Wood Sculptures and Lamps and Lamp-Shades  for about ten years now. Starting with his own Studio in a Craft Centre at Tregreenwell, in North Cornwall, followed by  an Arts and Crafts shop (The Workhouse) in Wadebridge. He has since sold through a number of quality craft outlets around Cornwall, His work is in some demand,  and Brian has sold internationally, and also to celebrity clients. He says the wood comes from a variety of sources, often unrecognizable when compared to the finished piece. He says he looks for the wood to suggest a `Form` to him, and then the work begins. The piece is either cut away to enhance the shape, or pieces grafted on to help form it. The Tree-of-Life lamps sometimes have as many as ten pieces in them. .He sees his role as complementing or enhancing what nature has formed. He says “I try to suggest the form only, as I`ve found that people enjoy interpreting each piece for themselves, and often see different things. The beauty of the pieces is that each one is a unique work of art.-There can never be another like it.”
 Imagine owning something that no one else in the world has......

The long-term goal of this site will be to showcase the work of  exciting arts and crafts people, both  existing, and new, and give them a place where they can showcase their work to a wider audience. If you feel your work would be suitable, please contact us for details.
