“Cindy Drozda, from Boulder, Colorado has been a professional woodworker in one form or another since she was 19 when she took a job in a player piano factory. From there she moved on to cabinet shops, building hang gliding equipment and airplanes.She first discovered woodturning in 1984 and it became her hobby until she decided to make it her full time occupation in 1998. Since making that choice her art has been acclaimed by the art world and is routinely shown in the finest galleries.Cindy is known for her finely detailed turnings, delicate spindles, eye-pleasing forms and hidden jewels that she incorporates into her work as a surprise for those who have the opportunity to explore her art. Fortunately for the WoW family she does not hide her beautiful work and shares it on a regular basis.WoW is pleased to celebrate Cindy Drozda as Featured Artist for the Month of June 2017.”
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.
