DEMONSTRATORS
If you have any questions about the programme or any of the demonstrators, please contact Mary our Programme Secretary.
Ben Dick
"Ben Dick built his long awaited workshop & purchased his first lathe, which was a second hand Record CL4.
In September he joined Middlesex Woodturners Association and started turning.
With a great deal of help from the more experienced members & hours of watching You Tube he was off and soon entering pieces in the competition and selling at the club organised shows.
He likes to work with mixed media and much of his work is with decorating and colouring techniques. Sometimes he includes metal and stained glass in his pieces.
He is happy to take commissions for both artistic and practical turning."
Richard Findley
"Richard is a production turner based in Leicestershire. His background is in woodworking, coming from a long line of professional woodworkers.
It is the variety of work that he enjoys, undertaking commissions for one off prototypes to large production runs, turning for furniture makers, restorers, architects, designers and joiners.
His work is mainly based in the UK, but his growing reputation for making the highest quality turned work has earned him commissions for items that have gone to the US, Canada and Australia.
Richard is a well known and popular demonstrator, having written for Woodturning Magazine for more than 9 years and demonstrated all over the UK, Ireland and at AAW Symposiums in the USA. "
Emma Cook
"Emma has been involved in wood turning since her uncle and brother initially drew her interest at the age of 16. Immediately, she found working with wood to be her passion, and vowed to one day make it her career... 14 years later, Emma finally began demonstrating on the wood turning circuit, and has been doing so for the last 5 years.
Her turning style often incorporates elements of wood carving, which she has and still is, being traditionally trained for. She has rapidly grown in popularity over the last few years, and has had the privilege of demonstrating at clubs and shows throughout the UK and in Europe."
