MASON CITY – Join the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum on Saturday, January 15 at 10 a.m. in the Museum’s Salsbury Room for an art talk. Ames artist Rob Wallace will be discussing the art of woodturning. He will give a PowerPoint presentation showing some of the equipment used in the woodturning process and will explain the conversion of a piece of wood (in log form) to a finished bowl or other vessel as an art object. Wallace will also discuss the techniques involved in woodturning, a bit about the medium and about his inspiration to produce pieces that best accentuate the organic beauty of the wood.
Rob Wallace currently has several of his woodturning pieces on display in the Museum’s Iowa Crafts: 45 exhibition. The artist plans to visit the display after the talk so visitors can see his work in person.
This art talk is free and open to the public. No pre-registration needed. All are welcome to attend.
