Mark Hancock
Mark's work ranges from decorative, functional bowls to vessels, hollow forms and more recently wall pieces. His work is motivated by the pursuit and exploration of line and form rather than an effort at an artistic statement. With the thin walled vessels he tries to achieve the purist possible curve. Then he carves away areas adding life and movement to each piece. This creative process has led from the vase like hollow vessels with exaggerated rims, which have become Mark's trademark pieces, to the more open sculptural forms.
"Delicate and with a difference" is how Mark's work has been described.
He is in demand as a demonstrator with recent work in New Zealand, Norway, Austria & Suffolk. He will be teaching in October 2011 at West Dean College in Sussex.
Mark has won awards at the National Eisteddfod and with the Worshipful Company of Turners.

Les Thorne is a force to be reckoned within the woodturning world and he will be demonstrating his art under the banner of the Register of professional Turners (RPT).

The RPT is supported by The Worshipful Company of Turners; Indeed, Les was the main recipient of the Worshipful Company of Turners bursary award in 2007.
Les Thorne will be doing what he likes best, entertaining the visitors with panache, vigour, a lot of shavings and expounding as to why he does what he does his way. Les will be happy to dispense gems of woodturning wisdom based on his long experience to anyone who chooses to linger long enough to hear the answer. Les Thorne is not a dogmatic wood turner but he will doggedly enthuse as to why his methods work for him, and could work for you. |
