Linda Ferber, from St Paul Minnesota, has been a member of World of Woodturners for more than 15 years, and her beautiful and creative woodturnings have inspired hundreds of other wood turners. She says, “I have early memories of working on craft projects. I love to make items that capture a moment or emotiom, selecting the wood, turning the shape and applying texture and color to bowls and jewelry . I draw inspiration from my surroundings and my memories. Creativity is making a connection interpreting them with shape and color."WoW is honoured to have Linda Ferber as a member, and is proud to feature her as our Artist of the Month!
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.
