Spirit of the Wood

Spirit of the Wood - Hawthorn Bowl

Spirit of the Wood is the work of woodturning artist Pete Thompson. The name derives from the belief that each piece of wood used retains the spirit of the tree and the landscape from which it came and has a special, indefinable quality, giving every sculpture its own unique intrinsic beauty. The final form is guided as much by the wood itself as by the maker’s hand, resulting in an inseparable partnership between artist and material which reaffirms the physical and spiritual connection to the land and locality.

Pete's work has been exhibited at exhibitions and galleries across the region.
