Maker
Rick first picked up his turning tools in 2008 as a distraction from his IT day job. From the first shaving that flew off a cheap and cheerful second hand lathe, Rick was hooked and woodturning was the future. Through watching many of the best demonstrators on the circuit, undertaking challenging commissions and spending hours at the lathe, Rick has developed his skills and style of turning. He has established a reputation for exploring turning outside of the ‘Round and Brown’ often incorporating alternative materials into his pieces. Rick is best known for his off centre and multi axis work, in particular the multiple axis pieces turned on a jig he has developed. Rick regularly demonstrates at clubs and events across the UK presenting technical projects aimed to inspire others to broaden their turning ambitions and ideas. Rick provides training from his well-equipped workshop in Derbyshire including two high end lathes for students to use.
