Monthly featured Artist

Steve Mawson

Long-time member, Steve Mawson, has been an occasional turner dating back to the 1950's, but began turning in earnest in 2008. Over the years he has produced a varied portfolio, but really shines as a student of the basket illusion. His forms are true to many styles and he faithfully researches and produces the patterns, furthering an understanding of the Native American basket weaving craft.

The WoW family is grateful to have Steve as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for April 2025.

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 wow@hdv.net. 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.

Site design and hosting is a partnership between Webenology, Inc and Informanix Technology Group Inc.
