About the Turners<br />
Mike Mahoney, Provo, UT<br />
Mike Mahoney has been a professional<br />
wood turner since 1994. His<br />
bowls are featured in galleries<br />
across the United States. Mike's<br />
work is sought after by collectors<br />
all over the world. Mike is often<br />
requested to demonstrate and teach for wood turning clubs,<br />
craft schools and symposia. He has traveled around the world<br />
to discuss and demonstrate his craft. He is considered an<br />
authority in woodturning. Mike is passionate about his craft<br />
and the American Craft movement.<br />
He is dedicated to producing<br />
quality craft and educating<br />
the public about woodturning.<br />
His wood comes from urban<br />
sources (tree trimmers and local<br />
cities). He produces all of his<br />
work on the lathe without any<br />
embellishments after the fact,<br />
creating a very traditional feel with contemporary ideas. He<br />
wants his work to be attractive as well as useful.<br />
“For my work to be admired is one thing, but for my work<br />
to be used fulfills my purpose as a craftsman."<br />

Stephen Hatcher, Olympia, WA<br />
Stephen is an artist who<br />
works with wood and stone,<br />
lathe turning platters and<br />
vases from wood and then<br />
inlaying mineral crystals to<br />
create images of striking<br />
beauty. He has merged the<br />
disparate techniques of<br />
woodturning and stone carving,<br />
resulting in work that is<br />
unique both technically and<br />
in style. The pieces are made<br />
from highly figured woods<br />
where each design is inspired first by the wood figure that<br />
presents itself and the best form to capture that figure. The<br />
inlay designs are uniquely hand carved and created with layered<br />
translucent crystals. These designs are principally inspired<br />
by the changing seasons and natural beauty of the<br />
Pacific Northwest as well as the traditional art forms of Japan.<br />
