Pat Carroll has been honing his skills as a turner since 2002, with a primary focus on turning hollow forms. A bit of time spent perusing his album tells more of his story, though; a broad array of turnings, coloring and surface embellishments can be found in Pat’s work. He has demonstrated at local, national and international symposiums and has recently started hosting a series of Zoom meetings featuring discussions with turners from around the world. The WoW family is fortunate to have Pat as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for August 2020.
The World of Woodturners site (WoW) originated in November, 2001. At its start it was the only interactive site where woodturners could post photos and descriptions of their work and engage in discussion about their art. WoW members think of themselves as a family. They are artists who have become friends and who willingly share their talents and skills. This is a place where the novice freely mixes with the seasoned professional in an atmosphere of shared respect. No one is anonymous and everyone uses their own name. From this venue has arisen some incredible art, some of which can be seen in the public gallery. Enjoy this display of fine work. Access to the site itself is at no cost, by obtaining a membership invitation from an existing WoW family member or contacting site administration at wowadmin@shaw.ca. Include your name and a brief description of your woodturning experience in the message.The site is owned and maintained by the World of Woodturners, Inc., a non-profit organization.
