GVWG presents: Steve Kennard – March 12th & 13th, 2016
– CANCELLED –
Steven Kennard started turning wood in England in the mid 1970’s. Kennard is a woodturner and sculptor living and working in Nova Scotia, Canada. From exotic and indigenous woods he creates turned, carved and textured pieces as sculptural boxes in one of a kind and limited edition work. Wood turning is more often than not just where the process begins. Visit the Turned work Gallery Page to view his work.
“I constantly search for the perfect form, proportions and materials with which to create each piece. This makes the creative voyage one without an end, as each achievement draws me to the next. The encouraging aspect – the growth – means that I can look back at my earliest work from time to time, seeing in those designs the seeds of the present ones.”
Steven’s work has been featured in many publications including “New Masters of Woodturning” and “New Masters of the Wooden Box”, Fine Woodworking etc. He has taught and demonstrated as a featured presenter at American Association of Woodturners symposiums in the USA and he tours the USA and Canada, demonstrating and holding workshops for guilds. And he teaches visiting turners from around the world in his own studio in Canning, Nova Scotia.
