OUR FEATURED ARTISTS
ALEX ZABEL
WOOD TURNED BOWLS
“I really enjoy the process of releasing and refining the beauty found in a piece of rough wood. Each piece is unique and each piece has a story to tell. To fully appreciate that story you need to hold it in your hands, feel the curves and textures along with the visual aspects of the piece. Turning wood is like dancing – at times you get to lead and other times the wood leads you where it needs to go. It can be a surreal experience that’s hard to describe."
ROLF OLSON
PHOTOGRAPHY
