Nick Arnull Demo


Above: Nick Arnull and his Celestial Bowl

Last night the PEWG hosted Nick Arnull who gave us an amazing demo of the "celestial bowl". It was a fantastic event and Nick was brilliant. I really liked the demo because it was a relatively simple concept that a novice could do, but is such an amazing effect.

Nick seems to have an incredible talent for using colour on wood to give it a totally different, vibrant look. The celestial bowl is a great example of using colour to highlight the center of the piece and showing off the qualities of the wood by framing them.

He brought some of his other new work with known as the Coral Series which are amazing. Again the use of colour and texture combined with his mastery of turning make these pieces an absolutely spectacular sight.
