Richard Kennedy woodturning and gallery
About
Working with nature rather than against it, flowing
line, form and proportion are paramount to my design.
Inspired by the simplest of things, the shape of the
shoreline or a weathered rock, everything has a line
that can be used.
Self taught, I have been woodturning for over 5 years.
I create both functional and ornamental pieces. Using mainly
British hardwood sourced from environmentally sound suppliers,
windblown and drift wood when available.
I focus on simple
shapes for clean modern tactile pieces that sit well on both the
coffee or kitchen table.
Working with wood is a privilege and something I find hugely
satisfying. My work focuses on creating ornamental pieces rather
than functional items.
When creating a piece I find that a
compromise needs to be struck between the artist and the raw
material.
I have sold pieces all over the world but have settled in Argyll
to work, influenced by its dramatic scenery and raw beauty.
