Andy Cole, Artist Statement
Throughout his life, the intricate beauty of wood grains and the amazing works of wood art have fascinated Andy. After learning the basics in woodturning about twenty-five years ago through a class at the local Woodcraft store, he was hooked! What started as a hobby soon blossomed into a full time passion and profession.
Andy was initially introduced to the Honolulu Woodturners Club, a local chapter of the AAW, where he owes much of his success to the local members who coached and encouraged him in the early days of turning. He attended his first AAW symposium in 2003 and has not missed one since. There is something so satisfying about sharing the passion of woodturning with other like minded individuals.
He finds much joy and satisfaction in helping others to learn the skills to transform pieces of firewood into heirloom works of art. Finding balance between time spent in the studio and energy focused on promoting turning is always a challenge.
While he enjoys many aspects of turning, producing natural edge bowls gives Andy the ability to integrate the organic beauty of wood into an aesthetically pleasing form. Not wanting to waste the inside of the vessel, he learned how to core multiple natural edge nested pieces from one piece of wood and his nested sets have become his most easily recognized signature work. Andy demonstrates and teaches a wide variety of turning topics and always enjoys helping others to advance their turing skills . He rejects the notion of being a master, but has learned many tips that he is eager to share with others.
It also gives Andy a great sense of satisfaction knowing that a tree that stood for decades rooted in the ground can live on indefinitely in turned form as fine art.
